IMHO, the world should have a standardized operating system and it should not be free. Every PC should run on it so that every user could operate every PC.
Ye gods. That's horrible.

It would be like a state sponsored, "Floppy-disk" thumping religion which also has a license to print money.

A strong disincentive to innovate too, since any changes will threaten them and their free money.

PS:
As a matter of practicality, would these PC Police be trying to install DOS 1.0 on my Ghz desktop, or WindowsXP on my 16mhz 80806 box?
Or would they just be burning me at the stake?
What about Macs, routers, ISP and digital-wristwatchs? If this only pretains to PC I will be happy to buy a Mac and put Linux on it.

Do you not believe in freedom of speech? Do you not consider computer code a form of communication? Are you a fascist?
