Why I hate proprietary software 

,----[ Quote ]
| Unfortunately, the bad news will surprise you 
| (you don't want to hear them, or you are 
| eager to hear, of course it depends on which 
| side you are on). The news is that you will 
| get a text file instead of the driver telling 
| you that your devices are not supported 
| anymore. So, you are shocked and frustrated!!
| 
| This story is real and shows us how bad are 
| the proprietary software, at least from my 
| side!!

Protecting Linux from Microsoft (Yes, Microsoft Got Caught)

,----[ Quote ]
| Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journalâs Nick Wingfield broke a story
| on Microsoft selling a group of patents to a third party. The end result
| of this story is good for Linux, even though it doesnât placate fears of
| ongoing attacks by Microsoft. Open Invention Network, working with its
| members and the Linux Foundation, pulled off a coup, managing to acquire
| some of the very patents that seem to have been at the heart of recent
| Microsoft FUD campaigns against Linux. Break out your white hats: the
| good guys won.

| training slides that it prepared to train Best Buy (BBY) employees in
| what the software giant calls "the important differences between Linux
| computers and Windows computers."
