The Windows 7 License can make you love free software
,----[ Quote ]
| Personally, my reaction was revulsion. I
| never have thought much of a EULA that you
| cannot agree to until you open the
| software, but this EULA sinks to depths I
| never anticipated -- and, in doing so,
| suggests a desperate attempt to stay in
| control in the face of overwhelming odds.
| If these are the measures that Microsoft
| has to take to protect its business model,
| then the triumph of free software can't be
| far away.
|
| Meanwhile, when I finished my
| investigations, I deleted Windows 7 and
| returned to the sanity of free software
| with a profound sigh of relief.

Linux Operating System â Things Iâve Learned About This System Over the Years
,----[ Quote ]
| I would have to say that my experience
| with Linux over the years has been a
| blast. I feel like I am in control. I have
| never had to take my computer in to have
| it serviced. Which I might add was why I
| switched from Windows. I was in service a
| lot and paying big bucks to have someone
| fix it because I couldnât afford to call
| support and get them to try on the phone
| to fix it. I was very frustrated to say
| the least.
|
| Now you can try the Linux operating system
| for yourself and have some fun and
| freedom.

Kiss Firefox EULA goodbye
,----[ Quote ]
| When Mozilla requested Ubuntu to show Firefoxâs End User License Agreement on
| Firefox first start, the Ubuntu and other free software advocacy communities
| cried foul, because for some reason, stating the obvious (that Mozilla is not
| liable for whatever happens to your computer and that the software is free)
| is not in tune with the open source spirit.
