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:

RedHat and SuSE have been doing it fine. Sure, there are some other companies who don't do it so well, but still

U.S. Lindows Judge Proposes Compromise

 
quote:
The battle between Lindows.com Inc. and Microsoft Corp. over the Lindows trademark took an interesting turn today when U.S. District Judge John Coughenour in Seattle proposed a deal in which Microsoft can proceed with an appeal of his earlier ruling that a jury must decide whether "windows" had been a generic term before it was trademarked and Microsoft would cease its efforts to get foreign courts to stop the sales of Lindows until the U.S. case is decided.

Very good to hear, I also don't see why Microsoft should ban all purchasing of Lindows in Europe, that would be so retarded! just because they use the name "Lindows" doesn't mean they are trying to take the Windows name from Microsoft, anyway, Bill Gates is a greedy arsehole who deserves to be locked away in a cell far away from society.

Bill Gates has made such a crappy OS that I think I will stop arguing against it all together, my point is that Microsoft & Bill Gates never cared what the consumers wanted, they are just making the software for the money, I bet that Bill Gates doesn't even use Windows at home!

Basically, all those Windows users out there, he is laughing in your face when you get problems & have to re-install

Microsoft - Low-Life Cunts    :D

Yeah, he needs to go to Federal POUND ME IN THE ASS  prison! Send Ballmer too, he'd probably like it.
