Free software
I prefer free software when I can choose. But I think most people don't mind, or they even don't know about free software.
Free software is not only about money, but it is mainly about source code and building communities of users. You can modify any program and provide your changes to the community, so everybody can benefit from your work. If you don't know how to program computers, you can work on documentation, graphics, or you can help other users by answering their questions. Or you can be a humble user who requests enhancements and who reports bugs, what is also very useful for the others.
Free software is everywhere. Linux is inside many embedded systems and in many servers. Most of the Internet web pages are served by Apache (a free web server) running on Linux, the most famous free operating system.
What about you? Have you tried Linux? If you haven't, you can do it very easily. Just download a free image from the Internet, burn it in a DVD and boot your computer with it. The data in your hard disk will not be modified, and you will experience the real software (take into account that it will not run at full speed due to the lower DVD speed compared to the hard disk).

I use the ZenLive CD for language practice because it lets me choose Turkish language in the boot menu. I also have an old, old, laptop that runs very fast using Porteus Linux with the XFCE desktop.
