Micro$oft Laptop Bribe on Bloggers

I saw this while skimming on LXer. Well, what can I say. Micro$oft is up to its sleazy tactics again (I could say “standard operating procedure”… ). Micro$oft is clearly doing this to have a fragrant PR image for Window$ Vi$ta, which could be equivalent for a possible sell. But this blogger is not fooled. Come on, one needs powerful hardware (like that Acer Ferrari laptop being given away by Micro$uck) just to run Hasta la Vi$ta? Heck. Linux can run even on a low-end machine, no upright hardware upgrade needed. Only the unintelligible crowd would go Hasta la Vi$ta.  Also, time and again, Micro$uck make stupid software. To be exact: expensive, bloated, unoriginal and very poorly technically-designed  software. In other words, Micro$oft just loves to make money, and not great software.  Oh yeah, when you learn Micro$oft,  you only learn Micro$oft.  When you learn open source, you truly learn computing.

BadVista

Yeah, good to be back on the Blogosphere Anyway, FSF (Free Software Foundation) launched BadVista. BadVista is an informational campaign against Micro$oft’s forthcoming Window$ Vi$ta OS. Well, i’m glad that FSF is making some noise about the perils of Vi$ta. It’s a retaliatory move that I’m waiting to happen, since Micro$oft is known to employ various FUD (Free, Undermine, Deny) tactics against Linux and FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) in general. Yeah! it’s payback time, Micro$oft!
