Story: Unix users up in arms at Bill Gates' knighthood
Posted by: Smithy (Tuesday 27 January 2004, 8:20 PM)
Uk Unix User Group : "Microsoft's software has been written with scant regard for security, pushing the enormous cost of counteracting viruses/spam, and for repairing their damage, onto its own customers"
This is really funny isn't it?
This rapidly declining declining user group, which has watched Microsoft basically clobber Unix in the market place and finds itself becoming less and less relevant, will be better served focusing its attention and bile on the anarchist bomb throwers from the Linux community who are the real cause of the "enormous cost of counteracting viruses".
The latest crime of the Linux community? The "MYDOOM" virus which is busy causing havoc around the world even as we speak.
Go read : "MyDoom Virus Could be 'Linux War' Weapon " at
http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3304311.
When did it become normal to blame the victim of a hate crime for crimes being commited by the hater, in this case the Linux community?
This is obviously a blatant anti-Microsoft propaganda attempt by another "Microsoft is Satant" group.
It has zero credibility, and it will have about as much effect on the British Goverment as an eunoch has on a virgin.
Bil Gates still gets his Knighthood and the "Hate Microsoft" psychos will be forced to choke on their own bile yet again!
