On: Why Free Plans Don’t Work

I much much much prefer desktop linux, I would hesitate to call windows decent, let alone by far the best.

Yet I have still found it as much as impossible to buy a computer without windows preinstalled.

I prefer and use linux too, but the typical HN user doesn't represent the consumer market.

So do I, but that Linux didn't exist when Windows became dominant; it came much later.

and even now, it lacks the beauty of OS X, which is rather unfortunate.

I use Xubuntu, and it's the best damn work station I've ever used, but sometimes I wish gtk apps were a bit more beautiful.
