Color me unimpressed with your somewhat-contrived equivalence. We have here a OSS-based-linux distribution mailing list, and there is nothing unusual with us providing equivalent and helpful OSS solutions which we have far more experience with. That is different from asking someone to go buy another computer that hides the problems, and gives the user a false sense of security.

What is annoying is the OP ignoring something as simple as a misnamed piece of software, and continuing to use it for whatever reason, even when he claims to have always thought it was something else. Beyond the name, he could have learnt about other software which would have been easier to use, and does not come with all sorts of restrictions.
