Linux has driven me to buy Windows Vista

I started with computers on MS-DOS 5.0 on a 486 DX-25 (first PC my 
family had). Since then I've never had a "legit" version of MS software.

A weird thing happened though; About five years ago I started using 
Linux and F/OSS. By "use" I mean "totally fell in love with". So, over 
the weekend my gaming PC died. I decided to rebuild it, and because of 
Linux, I bought a proper copy of MS Vista.

As I've come to see it, I would be a complete blooming hypocrite if I 
thought I could continue copying commercial software while also 
expecting the GPL and similar to be respected.

So Microsoft, thank F/OSS for getting your hands on my ~$160.
