Hi there .... I mentioned in an earlier post that I no longer use
Windows for ethical reasons. I had attended a lecture by Richard
Stallman (GNU) and was quite disturbed. True, Richard is 'over the
top'. He is a zealot and an absolutist. The real world is not ready
for his degree of idealism. BUT much of what he says is ultimately right.
Take a look at: http://en.windows7sins.org/ Microsoft has had its
public moments in the past - the Netscape debacle to name but one, but
the practices it is using to lock folk into Microsoft is nasty.
Especially when it entraps young kids! I'm looking at campaigning
within the URC to brand Microsoft in the same way we currently brand
Nescafe - as unethical.
Just wonder what you guys think?
God bless, Barry.
