You are just another name calling right winged idiot. If you were open minded you’d see it’s all about the economy stupid. See you in November jack.

The goal of Linux and most OS was not to beat MS. I think that no matter what MS does, OS will go on. It’s been around for over 20 years and still going strong.

A lot of the people who contribute to OS do have their heads buried in their hobby. It is thier love of the hobby that has gotten it this far. It is their love of the hobby that will keep it going even if MS pays people to use their software.

MS might be able to affect 20-30% of the OS users/developers. But it will probably not affect the main supporters at all. I think MS could throw all $50 billion at OS FUD and still not win. It will just take a long time. They might be able to extend their life for another 10 years with these tacticts.

OS will grow mostly outside the US. In Asia, South America and Africa. Then to Europe and Australia. Then to the US. The US will be the last to change.

Oh no!
Another psychotic , left wing crazy cawls out of his wormhole and continues to spew out hate on another anti-Microsoft, anti-American, Bush-hating Canadian site.
Sigh*
What’s new about that?
Hey, Psycho, your pals in Al Quaeda have got a very nice cave in Pakistan waiting for you. And the American military have plenty of 2000 lb bombs to take you out when you join your evil terrorsit pals and comrades in arms in Pakistan.
If you love America’s enemies so much, and hate president Bush so much, feel free to go live in France, cause Bush is going to clobber Kerry come November.
As for a lunatic like you standing for an election…will you excuse me while I laugh? LOL!
You have about as much chance as an alliagtor of winning maybe even less.

Wow, that’s a GREAT piece – very insightful. It confirms what I’ve been saying for a long time – the open source community is politically ignorant. It has its collective head buried in its favorite hobby.

Still, I don’t think Microsoft is unbeatable. Moreover, its extraordinary power makes a resistance even more vital. Do people realize what Bill Gates is doing to America’s public schools, to another generation of children? How much does Microsoft support the greatest living terrorist, George W. Bush? What do we know about Microsoft’s involvement in Iraq?

With these questions in mind, I’m running for public office and making Microsoft and open source software campaign themes. Though many major battles have been fought against Microsoft in the courtroom, I’ve learned of virtually no political candidates in the U.S. who had made it a campaign issue. What a pity; if people weren’t so spineless, they could launch a formidable offensive, merely by filing as candidates.

Please visit my campaign website at http://www.edrevolt.org/ and my new anti-Microsoft website at http://www.freedomware.us/

Thank you.
