I am waiting for Microsoft to truly open source (as in GPL) Windows XP. After all, they have discontinued support for it. Why don't they just give Windows XP source code to the community? Making it GPL would be best. > Everyone assumes they're too "evil" to do that, but the > reality is that their FUD against open source has fallen > on deaf ears.

I got one myself, cut away everything except the words "Get Real", and stuck the bumper sticker onto my rear windshield. That sticker has been on my windshield for many years, and it reads, "Get Real GNU Freedom L I N U X" If you see a year 2000 forest green Honda City driving around in the Sta Lucia, Marikina, Quezon City area -- that's the "Get Real" car - the only one in Metro Manila.
