It's also written by professional software developers, either on their
own time or employed to do so. I'll admit I'd have to research
the issue, but suspect IBM pays standard rates, for example.
There have been claims that FOSS is exploiting students, admittedly.
I don't put much stock in those claims, as of yet.

There's a lot of source code to go through with Linux. Care to
be more specific?
Granted, the actual kernel isn't quite that big -- 5180 KLOC.
Windows is claiming 35,000-40,000 KLOC. Chock full of something.

Of course it is. So all you little kids and kidettes out there,
go out immediately (do not pass go, do not collect $200, do not
ask your boss for a raise) and buy a copy of Windows XP.

See above.

Well QBall, in case it's escaped your attention, COLA is not
a group that answers questions -- it instead *asks* them.
Or perhaps merely puts people on the spot to explain why
they use Linux -- or why they're still using Windows.
So...why are you still using Windows? :-)

As if we'd really *want* to ask you out on a date.

Some people pay for that sort of thing.
