If you had two kids, Linus and Bill lets say and they developed two OS's would you encourage one and discourage the other? You would rather that the not only excel but also work together. Life is infinite variety in infinite diversity, but its all for nothing if not united by some purpose. All things have vices and virtures, its up to us to make best use of them.
Lot of people say Linux is free, and that is its greatest virtue. And sorry i do laugh. Nothing is free. Someone must expend effort in order to make it work, the effort is there regardless of the payback. And more effort is required to keep it running. The online forums for Linux help are just as full as MS. Nothing is free. If no effort were required then we would end up like the humans in the movie Walle.
