French politicians want to tax tablets for not running Windows

[Erik Pomerantz]

I am glad someone is optimistic. Between this and that article from heliOS
a long while ago with the teacher going almost jury all over HeliOS and the
student that was distributing it I was thinking that the world was just
submitting deeper to the almighty corporations. I have people looking at me
like I'm nuts all the time. I just say that I like it because I'm free to do
things my way and make the system fit me rather than the other way around as
is what I feel when I work under corporate-made computers. I can only say
that I hope the change you are talking about comes to fruition.

Thanks,
     Erik
