  1. Yeah, one evil PoS roasting another for getting there first. Then 2 to 5 years later, if it even takes that long, he'd just copy the "feature" anyway. No thanks, we don't need a useless peddler of shiny gadgets to give his take. Forget Jobs, RIP Dennis Ritchie.

  2.  @YEE941  Because one was an evil douche while the other was a great man.

And if you really feel it's necessary to pay someone for the OS you use, whether you realize you're doing it or not you certainly are paying for Windows, then you could find a developer working on some open source project and donate a dollar as well as convince all your friends to do the same. If just 0.0014% of the population of the planet donated a dollar, 1 or 2 developers could be paid for an entire year of development time, depending on how much they spend to live. Don't like something about it? Pay someone to bend it to your whims. If anyone bothers to ask, there are companies that actively pay developers to work on open source projects, even the kernel itself has developers that are paid just to develop for the kernel. While most developers donate their time, they'd have a lot more of it to devote towards open source development if people donated money. A lot of people complain about the user interface of various programs, but if there's no one being paid to work on it and the people who are working on a project are focused on making the core functionality work, how can you expect it to get done. In short, donate to open source and it'll get better.
