Windows "Before I launch into my tirade, I need to make a confession. I like Vista. I use it daily, but I also use it with the full knowledge that it's a pre-service pack 1 OS from the boys in Redmond. That necessarily means it will have glitches, bugs, and annoyances. That's a given. I'm willing to put up with all those headaches. But there were several things I was really looking forward to in Vista that are simply missing in action or broken. These are features I'd really hope would improve my productivity and make life a little easier."

Mesa 3D is MIT licensed and not a GNU project.

even the proprietary drivers


Since when are the proprietary drivers related to GNU in any way? Other than RMS very much disliking them, that is.

I don't think I have ever laughed out loud, when I have wrote lol, but I did laugh out loud. I hope you wrote that with a puzzled face and a timed pause

"Mesa 3D is MIT licensed and not a GNU project."

I'm done I suspect you you should have a look at all the post on "linus" "hypocrite" "binary blobs" I make the same point point of synergy, as Linus does, regardless.

Why I say "mesa" or proprietary drivers" is you can't thank anyone or any community or company for GNU you can only thank them all.
