All Things Microsoft > Microsoft as a Company
MS makes unresonable demands to Lindows

Oh well, I always thought that Lindoze sucked. Forcing people to PAY for OPEN-SOURCE software... Lindows is also going through a stage of greed, making a cheap copy of Windows that sucks twice as much, for the losers that just want to "be different" for no reason at all.

Well I myself support paying for open source (though I don't think forcing by law is the best way).
And why does Lindows suck? Because it's for AOLers (or whatever you call them)?

No, I fully support paying for open source. Software is the developers' work, and they deserve to be rewarded for it. I just don't support software created just for money. The companies that create this type of software almost never think of the comsumer. Think Microsoft.
The people that created Lindows say that they are SO cool, because they are rebels. They say that they are for people who want to be different from the evil Microsoft. However, they are lying. Lindows is just like Windows, but with Linux software instead of Windows.
Lindows sucks because they are a mini-Microsoft.
They are missing the entire point of open source. They are exploiting Linux for proprietary uses! I mean, these developers turned Linux into a quick money-making scheme. They even charge for normally free downloads at "Click-n-Run"!
I am sorry if I offended you, WMD (I was ranting back there.) I just can't STAND to see Linux being exploited by greedy hypocrites.

Yes, the better way to be respected for hacking is to ask people for money, not to demand it for use of the product.

Interestingly enough, as true as this seems with Linux companies, many find it impossible. :rolleyes:
