Reaction Paper on Revolution OS

I have been hearing about before but I am not really that interested to learn about it. Thus, it is surprising in my part to discover that there are a lot of people who advocates using this operating system. It is truly amazing to see and hear the founder and developers of Linux and softwares. They are not “just” ordinary people that people from and the like companies will look down. These people do have brilliant minds and they are really a threat to corporations like Microsoft.

It is impressive to know about their great desire to make internet and softwares accessible to everyone without being charged with huge amount of money. When said, “If

I will develop an operating system I will make it free for everyone”, I thought and doubt a little if there is really a person in that business who is not after the profit. Nevertheless, Stallman is awesome! (but I don’t like his hairstyle.. ☺)

It is not easy to battle with a long time ago established and stalwart corporation such as

Miscrosoft. Hence, I admire the brains behind Linux and open source softwares for being intellectually competent and for their courage.

I am still currently using the Windows OS and there is that little fear to try something new. But maybe, provided with sufficient knowledge about other operating systems I might change my OS soon.
