Yes.  If your employer insists on using an inferior product and you
can't get another job.

Too many people believe all the advertising lies and other OS's find
it hard to stay in the marketplace.  Even where the product is
clearly superior it can be an uphill battle because of the
preponderance of Wintel.  I have to fight to keep a superior product
and all around me I see people falling for the lies.  It's pitiful.
I agree don't steal from MS - that only serves to support their
dominance of the market;  use the alternatives - some at least are
distinctly better.

Could we now please end this cross-posting.  There are alternatives.
Bitching doesn't help.  Stealing supports Bill Gates.  Those of us
who want to support an alternative to Wintel can do it the only way
it works - by showing our colleagues and friends that we have a
superior product.  Rude comments here won't work.
