Personally, I don't care about them.  Their decision to partake
in a business model which can only be described as parasitic
it not my responsibility.  I don't think they'll ever get the
support of people whose primary work consists of carrying
around anti-virus and MS filesystem defraggers.

They perform NO value-added work, because, frankly, they don't
have the ability to do so in the computer industry.  Their
mentality is very similar to someone in a "featherbed" job
in a UAW plant -- they will fight, kicking and screaming, ANY
change to the system, because the current system means that
they get paid for not doing anything of actual value.

Lazy people LOVE "make work" situations in which efficiency
is specifically avoided, as opposed to an even semi-rational
system in which efficiency improvements are one of the goals.

If he's too stubborn to learn to use something that's FREE,
that's his own, self-created problem.
