now, i feel like i understand you better. integrated hardware/legacy free hardware may be the future or better yet (as I like to say), the right thing to do but the the key is "legacy free hardware" not "legacy free Windows hardware". That's why WE must help Linux. It's the best contender yet to restore some balance. (I know, I know ... BSD... I love BSD but I'm also a realist) Maybe Linux needs ppl like you to help it grow and evolve. It's free. Catch, I guess what it comes down to is that I belive that the world is due for "economic re-distribution" !
