That's your interpretation of it. My interpretation when I saw the image
was different. I saw a room with a window representing MS Windows. The
room itself creates limits with its walls, and your only glimpse at
freedom is through the window. I want to fly through the window, out of
the walls and limits, towards the free landscape, green grass, the world
of linux and open source/free software :)
In that sense I think it's a bit sarcastic as well, in the terms that
WUBI is "linux inside a Windows box", like "limited freedom". In the
photo the viewer is positioned inside the walls, and only gets a glimpse
of the freedom.
I would actually love to see an animated video where the camera flew out
of the window towards the ultimate freedom : )
