Are you sure?

>From http://badvista.fsf.org/blog/welcome-to-the-badvista-org-campaign:

"Welcome to BadVista.org, the Free Software Foundation campaign opposing
Microsoft Vista adoption and spotlighting free software alternatives."

"With your help, we will [...] provide a user-friendly gateway to free
software adoption"

>From http://badvista.fsf.org/blog/launch-press-release:

"The Free Software Foundation (FSF) today launched BadVista.org, a
campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on
computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free
software alternatives that respect users' security and privacy rights."

...twofold mission. Providing a link to gnewsense.org in the press
release doesn't accomplish the second part of that mission.


(What does Wikipedia say about losing sight of your mission?)

Kind Regards,
M.F.
