Story: Crime, but no punishment for Microsoft
Posted by: Chris Rankin (Monday 20 June 2005, 10:34 AM)
Smithy, I have been using Linux for almost 10 years, and it is my duty to inform you that everything that you dribbled in your last rant is a load of rubbish:
- You can download the Linux kernel for free.
- You can download the ISO images of Fedora Core for free.
- You can download the ISO images of Suse for free.
- Not counting the SCO lawsuit (which has astonished the Judge with its complete lack of evidence), how many intellectual property lawsuits have been brought against Open Source projects?
- Open Source developers are actually very helpful people. My advice to you is not to confuse the developers with some of the people who rant on ZD-Net talk-back boards.
Ironically, your rant is actually a fair description of Microsoft, which is why I don't use Microsoft products.
