Not everybody *can* be 100% Windows free. My post was to show that
under the
right circumstances it's not only possible, it's easy. And, as far as
Totem
goes, there are other media programs that might work. Have you tried
them?
Some programs will never appear on Open Source platforms, Joe. There
are no
talented programmers interested in putting the programs on Open Source
with
no income while they do it. Nobody is willing to pay the programmers
to move
the programs to Open Source. These are typically niche market
programs. They
often have a long Windows or Apple legacy, though. And they are the bread
and butter for the people who distribute them. So being 100% windows
or Apple
free is a forlorn hope if you want to include "everybody". (And what's
this
nonsense of only worrying about Windows free? Apple is "good guys", hunh?
Let's hear people giving Apple equal time to Windows for their hatred.)

I agree with this.
