PeTA's choice: Microsoft Windows 2000

Maybe, maybe not, but if you have seen the thread: "Greenpeace cans Windows" you may understand my sadness.
I'm a vegetarian. I visit PeTA almost everyday. I wanted to know what software there running, so I took a visit on Netcraft and it scared the hell out of me...

I hate to see when a good orginazation like they are, run such evil software... could everyone please send an e-mail to  [email protected]  and tell them to run Solaris, Linux, BSD or something else?
You help me a lot if you should!
Thanks in forward.

I couldn't care less about the peta actually (hey .... I like my meat ... don't try and take away my meat    ) but what's worse:

http://www.sportbedrijftilburg.com also runs on win2k/MS-IIS which means some of my taxmoney goes to MS (not that I didn't already knew that, but I still think it's not right)

(d'oh ... bad link)

All the computers in the city senate (gemeentehuis eigenlijk, maar ik heb geen idee hoe je dat in het Engels zegt) Nijmegen have Windows ME for administrative stuff... a good waste of money I soppose (goed idee voor Over de balk?  :D ).

I believe the government and eviremental orginasations must stop using Windows, because our tax/donations are wasted on Mr. Gates and Mr. Balmer  :(

Calum:
you are right, refalm, but windowsME for administration? windowsME for a cdplayer/doorstop is more like it...

also re: PETA, they probably do not want to use sth they do not know. while i have no sympathy for this ignorant attitude, i totally sympathise with their low budget charity status, and them thinking they would be taking an unnecessary risk by migrating. For administration though, it could only benefit a charity to move to linux in the longer term.
re server space, maybe they do not own the server and have no choice (or active concern) about what OS it runs?

Refalm:
OK, you've got a point... look at my website www.Refalm.com, it runs Windows 2000   :(  

But when you look at my server, it's Apache on Red Hat Linux      

Just visit my webiste and you'll see what I mean
