[clug] "Why switching to Ubuntu is a really dumb idea"

[Randall Crook]

Its not strange David....

The writer wont admit it, by he does realise one thing. A lot of people 
actually do use those products. They don't pay for the products, but 
they do use them.

I know quite a few people who use nothing but cracked software like 
photoshop. I think you will find that quite a few professionals actually 
use cracked versions of those products too.

He is smart to say progs like that don't work (licensed or not) because 
it will scare quite a few people away from linux.
