We don't imitate, we build.

Thanks John,

  I knew nothing about Linux before I met you.

  No one else here is half as good as you are at explaining it.

Hi John,

Re:  Linux artistry vs. Microsoft's mass production,

You asked me: <<

Can we undo Wal*Mart and Frys ?

It's the same question.

Hi John,

Why are Wal*Mart and Frys good but Microsoft is bad ?

Because they haven't illegally kept competitors from the market.
Because they haven't artificially kept prices up.
Because they don't swipe IP from competitors.
Because they haven't presented purposefully doctored evidence in court.

I don't know about Frys, but Wal*Mart has been accused of unfair
labor practices in the past.  I'm not aware of Microsoft being
accused thereof, although it's been accused of a lot of other things. :-)
