My way of thinking is that being free does not really to me, a lambda user, make it superior but otherwise just add pros and cons.

By using mostly Windows I trade the inconvenient and risks of non-free with other advantages. It is a informed choice.

RMS may hate me though :)

Are you able to explain the term "lambda user"?

Sorry it's a very bad translation from French, it's Monday morning ...

I think something like "non-power-users", or "random/average user" would be a better term ?

That's an excellent term, and I am going to start using it.
