Microsoft bashing on Freedom Toaster's site

[Fabian Rodriguez]

Hello,

I recently came across this comment at the Freedom Toaster site:
http://www.freedomtoaster.org/?q=node/11#comment-54

This is what I sent as a comment:

Hello,

I think you're doing a great disservice by doing this kind of
calculations. This is really contrary to the spirit in which I think the
Toaster was designed.

Windows can be obtained for free in academic deals or included as OEM in
*so many ways* your estimates aren't even close to reality. The price of
licencing is a tiny part of overall costs of using non free/open source
software, including social, educational and even political costs.
Bashing Microsoft and using signs like "M$" really doesn't help in any way.

Furthermore, Suse charges for *support options* and other things when
it's sold. How can you be comparing that and even laughing at the fact
they supposedly loose any money ? If anything, the toaster lets users
try the distributions, and then go pay for support/etc. if they feel
like it.

I'd like to invite you to read the Ubuntu Code of Conduct at
http://www.ubuntu.com/community/conduct and revise your post. There must
be another way of highlighting the great number of "toasts" the system
you talked about has produced.

Cheers,

Fabian Rodriguez
