Comment I voted "yes" too... (Score 2) 80
I'm a student, I study engineering... why shouldn't I vote? We're obliged to use systems that are often under any reasonable efficiency level! This could be the occasion for having a really good combination between software and OS. That's why I voted "yes".
Moreover let's consider this simple thing: Linux is a free OS, paying for it is always less expensive compared to other OS. The costs of starting up a design activity would be reduced of 20% (i don't wanna exaggerate...)... anyone would do that simple step: buying a Linux licence (almost free) and buying an expensive CAD/CAM system... it certainly is less expensive than buying a workstation "all in one" (OS + CAD).
