Neowin Exclusive: Stallman on the current state of GNU/Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| I don't know how many people have a specific intention to use future versions 
| of Windows or MacOS. I also don't know many people intend to buy a computer, 
| and will find that it comes with Windows 7 whether they wanted that or not. 
| But if the numbers are large, my feeling towards them will not be one of awe, 
| because I don't wish for the kind of success that consists of gaining power 
| over lots of people. For the GNU system, the question is rather how many 
| people we can liberate.      
| 
| My message for anyone that uses Windows or MacOS is to notice that using them 
| means that Microsoft or Apple controls your computing. They decide what you 
| can do, and what you can't do. So escape! Join us in the Free World! We have 
| worked 25 years to build it, for freedom's sake. Now all you have to do is 
| choose freedom.

I Met Richard Stallman

| My brother explained the concept of Free Software to a bunch of his
| Mac-fanatic friends. My mom explained it to one of her friends as well.
| Overall, the speech had a very positive impact on my family. I am sure each
| person that listened to the speech walked out with a different attitude on
| software. Anyone from Chile, Paraguay, or Uruguay should make sure to attend
| Stallman’s upcoming speeches there. For everyone else, watch/listen to a
| recorded speech of his, or watch Stephen Fry’s “Happy Birthday to GNU” video.
|
| It’s a GNU day. What will you do to spread the word?
