Xandros goes off



Xandros agrees with microsoft's patent scheme, so microsoft won't be able to sue them, this is just another stupid act like the one Novell made last year. But we the freedom loving people are still intact and we will continue to use "free" Linux distributions, I actually thing now after it's trade off Xandros will lose some of it's users.

The funny thing is what Xandros CEO said

Xandros CEO Andreas Typaldos said his company's technical and marketing agreement with Microsoft will help increase Linux adoption rates because users will have access to improved technology and won't have to fear lawsuits from Redmond. "What's good for adoption rates is good for Linux," Typaldos said in an interview.

He thinks that it's be good for Linux, how can this be good if all the freedom gets lost.

And now microsoft tells that Xandros is a recommended linux distribution along with SuSE. But In my opinion Xandros tried to be the complete Windows replacement in the past. And Xandros is based on Debian GNU\Linux according to my knowledge and Debian is superior than Xandros, so microsoft must agree that Debian is better than Xandros and Windows.

So this is an invitation for all the freedom loving people to come and digg the stories.

So get together and join the fight against the microsoft's monopoly.

Unlike Windows, which is a mature commercial product which is normally included with every new computer, Linux is given away. Now it may not sound like much of a problem, after all there is very little profit in merely giving a product away.

This would be certainly true were in not for the Linux project’s seductive Marxist ideology and the effect that it has on ‘Blue-State’ liberals. Indeed, Linux is so pervasive amongst the blue states and many liberal universities that a leading computer expert Steve Balmer (from Microsoft) described Linux as cancer.

The American software industry is worth more than $7 Billion; Introducing a foreign product like Linux which is often copied for free could threaten that entire industry. A generation of computer users might get use to accepting foreign software hand-outs rather than paying for a superior American products. If only the danger were just to our economy:

These days computers control everything from TV stations to battleships; Our crucial information and defense infrastructure is built on computer technology. If we allow this cancer into our networks, there is no knowing what the effect might be on our infrastructure, but that is just what liberals are trying to do.

Imagine if the State of the Union address were hacked because the TV station decided to save money by using Linux? Imagine if a stealth-bomber crashed because it’s software was written by anonymous Chinese or European hackers. It would make as much sense as inviting the French to come over and take over the White-House.

And guess what software Osama Bin Laden uses on his laptop?

If you guessed it was Linux you would be 100% right. Osama uses Linux because he knows designed to counterfit DVDs, curcumventing the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, and defraud companies like Disney.

Next time somebody asks you how Al Queda agents pay for their rifles and rocket launchers, you can tell them that foreign hackers make software called Linux which helps them steal from Americans.

This Linux problem is a growing issue, and one that conservative Americans cannot afford to ignore. Fortunately Microsoft have prepared a great deal of information to help computer users get away from this menace. But there is something you can do to help keep American #1 in the computer business:

If one of your friends is using Linux or may be tempted to try it show them this article. Explain that Linux is a genuine threat and that by using it they may be opening their computer to Chinese hackers.

If you see a company using Linux, it may be that they have not paid for this software. Report them to the Business Software Alliance who have the legal authority to inspect any company’s computers for illegal programs like Linux.

Finally, remember to include Linux users in your prayers tonight. As individuals we may not be able to change people’s minds, but the Bible teaches that God can make any sinner repent.

@tristan:

What you say is completely wrong, Linux is not made by only chinese or european people, it's made by people around the whole world. So you can stop claiming that Al Queida and terrorists are the people who support linux, Linux means freedom so any one can use it for free. And you are completely wrong in saying that Linux is less secure than windows because more than 60% of the servers around the globe are using Linux as there operating system. If you are unsure in this matter please see the arguments posted in the "Bad Vista" post, then you will understand about this matter. And by the way have you ever used Linux.

Both Pentagon and NSA is relying on Linux to protect their servers, maybe you can go and warn them :P

What do you have to say now,

I completely agree with Tristan.

The name alone (LINUX) sounds kind of queer to me!
It’s just some primitive European substitute for a real operation system like the mighty Windows XP.
Also I would like to mention that Apple’s ‘Mac Os X’ is a real threat, too. This damn extrem leftwing company is giving millions to the democ-rats!!!
Also I suspect that this Mac OS is sending personal information to Apple and other communist companies and organizations!
Kindest of regards,
Shelley
