content: I know I am in the minority here, but I would absolutely pay for an open source but not free Linux distro that has the same widespread support as Windows products do. I bought two retail Win7 Home Prem editions when it first came out, and it has served me faithfully for many many years. My next build will be a Linux PC, and I intend to run Win7 in a VM for anything legacy that I need. I actively use Linux now, mostly Mint but also Ubuntu, and my biggest beef with the distros is that I can never get my pretty graphical stuff to work properly when I want to game. It is just annoying.
