</div>That's your interpretation of it. My interpretation when I saw the image<br>
was different. I saw a room with a window representing MS Windows. The<br>
room itself creates limits with its walls, and your only glimpse at<br>
freedom is through the window. I want to fly through the window, out of<br>
the walls and limits, towards the free landscape, green grass, the world<br>
of linux and open source/free software :)<br>
<br>
In that sense I think it's a bit sarcastic as well, in the terms that<br>
WUBI is "linux inside a Windows box", like "limited freedom". In the<br>
photo the viewer is positioned inside the walls, and only gets a glimpse<br>
of the freedom.</blockquote><div><br>Yes :-) This is exactly why I actually love this illustration. This subtle sarcasm is spot on :-) <br></div></div><br clear="all">Perhaps removing the wall from the image to make a transparent bg will make it easier to integrate into websites. If one wanted to strengthen the sarcastic note subtle semi-transparent outlines of bricks could be added as a wall.<br>
