Linux: Battle Plan
,----[ Quote ]
| Like every other tech commentator in the existence of 'teh intranets',
| i too seem to have my opinions why Linux and other free software are
| not present on every computer today. While many commentators feel that
| people only know the 'windows feel' they seem to completely ignore
| the legal strategies that has made Microsoft (abbreviated m$) so
| profitable, and often dwell on the 'shady' activities of m$.
|
| To sum up my observations, I'll tell you why I do not have Linux
| installed on my computer, despite my extreme interest in it. Though
| I have a decent amount of information on Linux, I am far from an
| expert, however this works to my advantage since I am more of an
| 'average computer user' than most Linux users.

| The war plan is not to crush the infidels at m$, or to eliminate the
| future Himmlers, Eichmans, and Hitlers at Apple, but rather to
| slowly chip away at their market. The basic ideas behind my proposal
| are that m$ will not offer their software for free; m$ is a money
| hungry company which have strategies that rival Sun Tzu, or perhaps
| more appropriately, the German Nazi regime. Perhaps it is best to view
| m$ as a group of genius, power hungry and mentally deranged Nazi
| generals which will always dominate with their rule of technological
| fascism and totalitarianism unless they are drained of mainstream
| adoption. Even Apple has begun showing its true face since it's
| mainstream adoption. Every fashionable gay coffee sipper out there
| could care less about Apple's toltarian implementation of DRM and
| a completely unnecessary wave of additional media formats... The
| day that Linus Torvald is worshiped as Christ for delivering the
| world from the suppression of Windows, and computer users of the
| world ask for forgiveness for scoffing at Linux will surely be the
| day that Windows is crushed...

Yes, some people out there are outspoken... some would say "fanatic". I think
that Godwin Law would have this guy reprimanded.
