2012 Software Freedom Day by codelord: 2:41pm On Aug 17, 2012
Software Freedom Day 2012 (SFD) is an annual grass roots effort to celebrate and educate the public on the benefits of using Free and Open Source Software (FOSS).
FOSS provides such user benefits in software as increased control, enhanced security, free or reduced cost and higher quality due to constant peer review of the code. Some excellent examples of open source software include Mozilla Firefox internet browser, Ubuntu Linux operating system, OpenOffice.org, a software suite similar to Microsoft Office, GIMP image editing software and the list goes on and on from there. The aims of the project are to provide a free alternative to costly software, with equal or often better quality equivalents to proprietary, shareware or freeware software for Microsoft Windows and to educate users on using Linux as an operating system for home, business and educational use.

windows ship with full virus support built in
while the other can cost an arm and leg, at times, the other leg too
Linux is completely free with loads of free softwares available everywhere.

Wait till that day.

Any body can use Linux not for developers alone. Kubuntu is like windows and dedicated for home users
