Yes, there does seem to be more "shareware" for windows, but generally it's pretty junky or very overpriced. Simplistic little utilities for $40 of the type that are free under Linux/BSD.


I actually find more USEFUL "free" software for Linux than windows.


Anyway, I've also been using Windows for much longer than I'd like (Windows 2.0 days - yuck.) If you are looking at Linux and saying ho hum, you aren't looking very close. There are Very interesting and innovative things going on.

    Maybe you just don't know where to look for the free programs on Windows. I have over 1.5GB of Freeware that doesn't suck. Over 630 programs. Not all installed of course, just kept in case someone asks or I need it.

    A lot of those came from SourceForge.
