FSF Launches Windows7sins tomorrow
,----[ Quote ]
| From the info-member list:
|
| This Wednesday, August 26 at 11am, the Free Software Foundation will be
| launching its Windows7sins.org public awareness campaign, drawing
| attention to the threats posed by the adoption of Microsoft's
| proprietary operating system. We have a launch event here in Boston on
| the Boston Commons from noon until 3pm, and we need everyone in the area
| to come along and help out and join in the ceremony as we conduct a
| ceremonial trashing of proprietary software.
|
| **We'll be launching our Windows 7 campaign with pomp and fanfare, with
| a giant 12 foot trashcan being filled with boxes of proprietary
| software.**
|
| The event promises to be lots of fun, and with thousands of people
| passing through the Boston Commons every day we hope you will help us
| connect with the public by handing out information and explaining the
| benefits of free software. There will be camera crews and photographers
| capturing the event and we will be getting these images up online as
| soon as possible on the day.
|
| Let us know you're coming and bring along your friends and work
| colleagues - mail campaigns@xxxxxxx if you have time to help us set up,
| or just turn up at the Boston Commons near the entrance to the Public
| Gardens from noon.
|
| If you're not in the Boston area, there will be plenty for you to do to
| help us launch the campaign and get the message out. Stay tuned for
| upcoming instructions...

Vista 7 is a piece of insecure, incompatible, bloated -POS- variant of Vista.
Wait and watch how it fails in the market, despite Microsoft's PR/AstroTurf
that'll strive to conceal it.

Linux vs Windows 7
,----[ Quote ]
| And this is where Linux can make a big difference. There's nothing in Windows
| 7 that Linux can't do, and in most cases, do it better. Our machines are
| quicker and more efficient. Our desktops are more innovative and less static.
| Our apps are more powerful, cheaper and less partisan, and Linux security has
| never been better. But best of all, we have complete control over the future
| of Linux, and it's success or failure at the hands of Windows 7 is in our
| hands.

Seven things Windows 7 can learn from Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| 1. More frequent release cycles. As Iâve already explained, Microsoftâs worst
| enemy has been its very long release cycles. Linux distributors, on the other
| hand, have the opposite problem â too frequent release cycles. But what would
| a consumer be more interested in, an operating system thatâs eight years old
| (Windows XP) or one thatâs updated every year or even six months? Fresh
| product releases means fresh marketing and Microsoft knows this. From Windows
| 7 on itâs bye, bye many-year release cycles and hello two year cycles at the
| most.
