All this is getting a bit annoying. Open source = freedom to choose. 
Rahul _chooses_ to use 32 bit, just as I _chose_ to use 64 bit for the 
last four years out which the first 2 were in India (my home country). 
And I am just a university student, back then and now.

I hope you understand this soon that most GNU/Linux distros are built on 
two major principles, the freedom to choose and the willingness to 
contribute without expecting anything in return.

It is a different matter that many have made careers out of this. I envy 
them, not for their pay packets but for what they get to do at their 
jobs and the really wonderful things they learn and create along the way.

I am grateful for how things work in the FOSS world. If you don't like 
it, feel free to move to any of the "other" OSs.

Open source is the future. It sets us free.
