This is a distinct possibility. Vista has been designed to *impinge* on your rights. Eg. MS talks of scalability of windows and how Linux
is inferior to its OS etc. But who listens to their sponsered reviews and surveys? Cos they have lost their credentials.
No harm in calling a spade a spade. Microsoft and its channel partners are marketing Vista as if it were the best thing after sliced bread. Sony laptops come preloaded with it. Do you have a say? It is a drag on hardware and hard-earned money. I only hope that fsf does not do harm to OSS with
SCOish arguments and claims.
This argument is made by FSF opponents and rms detractors who otherwise support the open source initiative and is purely a misinformed / motivated political viewpoint. However, we must understand that F/OSS owes so much to rms and the FSF. Those that don't like FSF philosophy may well use BSD or public domain software. -- ______________________________________________________________________ Pune GNU/Linux Users Group Mailing List: ([email protected]) List Information: http://plug.org.in/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/plug-mail Send 'help' to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for mailing instructions.
