free software belongs on free software.

sometimes helping GIMP users also means giving them opportunity to step
up.  my idea was that windows people would step up to linux after seeing
how cool GIMP was.

people only became so stupid when this internet allows anonymous access
so stupid opinions can be expressed fearlessly.

every single real person i know and who has the guts to be actually seen
by me is also smart enough to step up to linux.

i want my efforts to go to welcoming windows users, not catering to
their software.  is getting a screenshot so very very difficult on
windows?

more reason for them to upgrade.

are the instructions for getting windows screenshots available in say,
html?
