Actually, it's better to just say to these IS professionals : "you're 
right". Have you ever tried walking them through a Linux install ? You 
hear comments like "it looks like DOS, why would I use DOS ?" and the 
much more common "Windows is more user-friendly".

Well, this morning, the local newspapers reported that 3 persons in 
Singapore were arrested for possessing and distributing copyrighted 
software. Their lives are completely up the shit creek now. I think a 
lot of Windows users here are going to be quaking in their boots.
