That is something important to understand: Open Source does not just mean free<br>
software on a free operating system, although that is long term desirable.<br>
<br>
There will be some applications that are only available on, say, MS Windows. If<br>
a user has just one of those they will have to stick with MS Windows†<br>
<br>
Replace a component at a time and at some point all the applications will be<br>
free software and a switch to a free OS might be possible.<br>
<br>
Some users might never switch OS.<br>
<br>
† OK you might get it going under Wine ...<br>
