Step 4: Every un*x machine has a C compiler. maybe ms should take the hint.
Compilers are a good thing because they allow smaller downloads and promote
free software. Also, compiling is quite easy when you use config and make
files. two or three commands and its done.
I think free distribution of code to compile is a great idea and if someone
is so lazy the he/she does not want to compile free software than they should
not bother with it and stick with MS and affiliates(ie Adobe, etc.) products.
