Microsoft has never pushed innovation.
I was simply making the point that you had absolutely no idea what you were talking about when you said basically that free software was worthless.
I think that in many different arenas free software has shown that it can be quite successful. Even, as the GIMP example is shown free software can gain success in the Graphics Industry. Which, as you can see, is closely related to these forums.

I'm not against UNIX or Linux or what have you... but Until there is enough software support- for the work I do- I'm not taking a gamble with my livelihood. That might not mean anything to a High school student, but just Wait 10-15 years. By then things will be different, but you'll have other issues that you'll have to think about and weigh against your families well being.

Before you ever say something like this, seeing as you like to look at what the professionals use... It's only fair that you know that they would never use Windows for their rendering. One of the limitations of Maya's Personal Edition is they won't release a version for *nix because they know that a *nix version is actually useful for work. So please tone down your it-is-not-good-enough for me attitude.
