This is in depressing agreement with the theory of "new enclosures" that I heard at the European Social Forum. When a government endorses a monopoly, it will often get involved in doing that monopoly's work for it. I'm told this has been seen in tax-based licensing of biotech in South America. Here, we're seeing the UK government distributing only security information for Microsoft systems and defaming Unix and Linux. Doing Microsoft's work for them. Feeding the site to tidy or validator.w3.org is also depressing, which is how I first heard of it, but didn't really pick up this aspect. I assumed that they hadn't linked in all services yet, not that it was launching supporting only Microsoft Windows! -- MJR http://www.affs.org.uk/~mjr/ _______________________________________________ Fsfe-uk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfe-uk
