definitely not.- once you discover what great variety of free plugins is

available for linux, you might wonder why you ever considered using

commercial software. this is an utopy, but i believe it will become reality

one day.
what linux requires most is documentation and user sites. once people find

solutions to their problems and answers to their questions, if you have

answers, it doesnt matter how hard the system is. the concept of wikis is

rather young, so i see the use of linux drastically increasing in the next

years.
especially when the software industry finally manages to invent a copy

protection scheme that is only beatable at hardware level - from then on, its

going to be an upward spiral for free software.
