Wait, wait, how do you go from 'free' in the small business context (think
pirated windows) to FOSS. FOSS will be accepted at that level when the
anti-piracy laws that currently apply to cd media will apply also to that.
Meanwhile 'free' windows is what runs most 'small businesses'. Just a reality
check. And, yes, I wish it would be otherwise.
