This is true. That is what I said. I did mean free as in freedom as opposed to material goods.
But if something is free but does not work, then as free as it is, it is not fit to be used. GNU/Linux does get the job done. Windows, on the other hand, is not only non-free (monetary *and* otherwise) but also does not get the job done (at least not correctly and not all the time.)
I suppose I should have made myself more clear. Apoligies.
