Really.  Give 'em a break, they're the good guys too.
    

I think you mistook my statement -- I *was* supporting AZstrut.  They helped 
me and the school out....I happened to use Linux for that project.

  

I'm sure AzSTRUT has a lot of clients who need to have Windows
(ref. my previous posting) to meet their immediate needs.  I recently
set up a machine that could run XP but not Xubuntu.  (I dual-booted
it with Feather Linux, but that was really lame.)  XP tends to run,
along a fashion, on a lot of those old boxes with PCI devices.  So
it makes sense for an outfit like AzSTRUT, concerned mostly with
the hardware, to use the OS most likely to plug and play.
    

I'm a big supporter of free software, but I have no problem with people using 
Windows including kids, schools, etc.  AzStrut can cater to both.  The world 
will be just fine with both kinds of software -- sorry, I don't mean to 
inflame any 'purests' on the list.

  

BTW, when I got my new 22" monitor, I took the business to Data Doctors
expecting to pay a premium.  I told them I wanted to do some business
with them in thanks for their accepting all my old junk for AzSTRUT.
But it turns out they beat Best Buy and Fry's prices for equivalent
hardware.  :-)
    

Wow, that's interesting...I'll have to drop in to Data Doctors...
