Mirco$oft is the MATRIX. Richard Stallman is Morpheus. Linus Torvalds
is Neo. Bill Gates is the ARCHITECT. Linux is Zion.

And, FREEDOM is the RED PILL.

You can guess what the BLUE PILL is. 
So, take a dose of freedom and you might just get to see Zion.

PS: Nobody said FREEDOM was easy. But, it definitely is better.
