Yes i would. I would like windows to be better. But i will tend
to support Linux more than Microsoft (well as long as it is more free)
I see no problem here.

Well here i must recall the bible story: why do you complain that those who
has been working only a couple of hours for me get the same amout of
money as you got and you was working all the day. Did not we agree in the
morning that you get 1 coin. And I want that others would get the same
amout regardless of for how long they worked.

So i think feelings should not be taken into the account.
The strength of open source is not in restricting bad things but in
encouraging good things.
