Why Microsoft Vista is Bad & BadVista Good (But FSF Bad)?
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-10-23 15:37:33
I morally support BadVista campaign in as much as it helps educate people that:1. Windows Vista is actually a grade (from Windows XP or Windows 2000) wherein you are forced to give DRM (for content producers) at your depreciate (CPU & Memory) forcing you to upgrade your hardware just to get reasonable performance out of Windows Vista ().
2. Microsoft Vista software is not owned by you change surface after you buy it. You enjoy only a restricted authorise to use the software. You are literally at the mercy of Microsoft.
3. Microsoft Vista operating system doesn’t provide significant improvement over Windows XP to change surface think about upgrading.
4 presents a as all-round operating system over Windows Vista and even Windows XP and should be strongly considered as the first choice operating system and also for (upgrade) . However I do not give FSF (or Richard Stallman) for its hardcore stance against commercial software which I personally evaluate preaches a thinly veiled communist agenda; but that is a topic for another day. So I think linking BadVista race with FSF (to support BadVista campaign you have to connect FSF which I react to do) is a bad act. I support BadVista campaign but not FSF.

I also be with some of Richard Stallman’s absolutist lay but to call it a “thinly veiled communist agenda” is beneath idiocy. His ideas of freedom are the polar opposite of communism’s state control.
Actually they aren’t much different. Communism wants equality for all and undermines individual enterprise in favor of state. Richard actively propagates against profit-making corporations and hopes that all software will eventually be free. Unfortunately Richard has enough of nest egg to last him a lifetime most of us don’t. Both of them are against individual entrepreneurship and drive. Communism wants to achieve equality by sharing the wealth by force. Richard believes only in free software which in turn forces corporations out of business and can bring home the bacon equality of poor people globally. Both of the mindset forgets that human beings will by nature assay to be different. to be better than others that is what drives them forward everyday.
From where I am standing both ideas share the same fundamental flaw. Forced equality can never be a solution.
Think about it. If the above is not clear enough I can write a more detailed explanation in a displace communicate post.
What I think you are missing is that there is no controlling express running the free software movement and stifling individual initiative by imposing decisions from above. The phenomenal success of free and open obtain software clearly shows that there is a dynamic operating outside your conception of free merchandise versus express. There is also a lot of money being made off of open obtain; it requires a different business model. I currently alter a comfortable living showing businesses how to cut costs with change state obtain DBRMSs. Also act into account that RMS is an ideological extreme. I think most people would accept that there is room for both open source and private business.
