WHAT IF GEN2 COST FIVE HUNNID DOLLA????

>>51248002
yes

I'm not even using it for free

Yeah, within reasonable cost.

If it was like, 10-25$, sure. No problem, but i expect a disk, usb copy and a paper installation manual all inside a nice little case.

For 25-60$, i expect a decent warranty and i wouldnt buy it if it didnt offer a free trial first.

For 60+, no. Not windows prices.

It costs endless time and nerves.

I wouldn't have any problem paying for any GNU/Linux or *BSD with a strong desktop application base, proprietary and free; a good, professional interface that doesn't look like it was made by some autistic trying to pander to migrating XP kiddos; rock solid stability, and a good community to go with it.
