Last week the following question was asked on this list:
"Here's the tough question: If there were a state of the art CAD program that
was free, would you really be that much better off in you profession? Flame
if you must, but it's a question worth considering."
The responses I though were intelligent, well thought out, and quickly went
to the root of the issue which is freedom to access your own data, and not
necessarily free as in cost. As it turns out I received a magazine in my
office with an interesting and related article in it. I thought the article
was very timely so I wrote to the author asking if he would post a copy to
the web and allow me to link to it. Anyway here is the link (and I really
recommend that if you have a few free minutes that you check it out).

Microsoft can be
