Hi, Thanks for ur help and suggestion.But I didnt start that SLA thread.In my original post i had asked about why few ppl are against linux and how would Open source wud generate employment etc.I insist u to see the original post of mine. PLus i am aware of differance between cookies and spywares.I have got dozens of anti-spy prgms for windows but since i shifted to linux i wanted to know about the same.I am also aware of commercial linux and i didnt ask about it.It seems u misunderstood me just go thru my original msg posted by me.(see below) thanks for ur links. Rajev My original post---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, Strange but when i tried searching on google to know if there are any ppl who hate linux i got this one- http://www.linuxsucks.org/contact0.html I had carried out same for windows and needless to say i got many sites against microsoft and windows. And i am wondering why would anyone hate linux (except microsoft)?Although i agree to the statement made by above mentioned site that Linux isnt as user friendly as Windows.But after so much hype and speculation in media,i couldnt resist! I would also like to know,how come linux (i got few unofficial definations form internet-"poor man's OS and OS of Communists!") gets so much backing from US ? How would Open source generate employment if it essentially means software for free? Sorry if i am asking silly questions!
