Hi, my name is Moose, and I use Windows. If you run Windows, my writing is for you, too.
This is kind of ironic if you understand what this site is about — the idea that Microsoft’s own business practices will cause it’s own end.
I’m not here to come down upon any Microsoft users. I’m not here to mock them or condemn anyone for what they run on the computer sitting in front of them.
Not everyone has the luxury of being able to choose what operating system they run on their computer. Some people are bound by work or by the need to run a specific, non-FOSS program that requires windows. Emulation is not always the answer for everyone.
There are also many people who are afraid to take a sudden leap into an Open Source operating system like Linux or one of the BSDs. I can understand this — change is hard! You’re used to the way things are now, changing means relearning everything all over again.
I’m a huge supporter and user of Free & Open Source Software (FOSS). I’m here to show both of the above kinds of people that you can use FOSS on your Windows platform systems. If you slowly add or replace existing software with FOSS solutions then when you’re willing and/or able to move to a Linux or BSD Open Source operating system there will be a lot less new things to get used to.
Let’s take this one step at a time.
