'Dear Mr Gates: Save Vista, Open-Source It'

Linked by Thom Holwerda on Fri 13th Apr 2007 16:50 UTC

It's been a while since the latest Microsoft-should-open-source-Windows article, so SJVN felt compelled to write one. "Although Microsoft may claim otherwise, Vista, from both from a technical and business point of view, is proving to be a failure. Why not turn it over to people who have shown time after time that they can deliver the goods?"

May I ask if these "Windows XP" are pirated copies?

And if those are pirated copies indeed (and we all know they are), then we can say that people rather risk fines and use pirated Windows than free Linux.

Kind of says enough about Linux, does it not?

No, it does not. In fact, it says "enough" (at least a lot) about those people.

Yeah, right.. and it does not say anything about Linux? )

Face it: people rather steal Windows than use Linux for free.

Come on, they get a computer with Linux.. and then they remove it and put pirated Windows (knowing they steal) --- and that says nothing about Linux to you?
