Acers Laptop Ad in Times of India (today: 9th May '05), page 15.the "fine print"

***

"the Linux that is loaded is a free version and would have limited functionality until another operating system is installed"

***

this is really stupid!... can anything be done to educate the acer guys?
this doesn't make any sense. It is extremely misleading. What "Missing / defunct " functionality are they talking about? I think it will take us very little time to get *fully* functional *free* *Linux* working on that laptop that they can give out. anyone has any contact with acer?


Free software doest work like proprietary stuff which revels in *limited" functionality.

Ads like these are _extremely misleading, damaging and do more to confuse people about GNU / FSF than anything else. more M$ fud ?
