As I responded to Mark's statement, the adjusted wording and sentiment 
is this;  do as you will with what you will. I aint no ones daddy when 
it comes to Linux, windows or otherwise. :) 

It is the choice of the individual and I forbid myself to make grandiose 
statements in the future because God forbid I should impose an opinion 
on someone else.  :)
