Well for one thing I only use GNU/Linux. You can forget about trying
to persuade me to use Windows.

For another, I avoid all software that isn't free in the sense of the
Debian Free Software Guidelines
(http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines). I think the only
non-free software on my computer now is some video codecs and
Macromedia Flash, and I'm not happy about having to use those.

I guess we just have different software philosophies.

I don't have a strict rule about it, but I just noticed that
of the software currently installed on my machine, none of
the what I've paid for employs anti-piracy measures stronger
than a serial number, and everything else that isn't free is
pirated.
