If you're like half the people i know, you take the middle road- you want the uber functionality of MS Word or Photoshop, but cant foot the bill, so you get on Kazaa and wait for a few hours.
I dont have sympathy for the large corporations "losing money" or whatever, seeing as they make overpriced software in the first place.
I also can't live without my windows box.. I really would like to get out and use RedHat, but I can't lose my Photoshop, Office, Winamp and games. Even knowing about alternatives like GIMP and so on. Simply put, GIMP is good for some things but Photoshop is good for almost everything.
If it were clear-cut, there wouldnt be any discussion.
