[ubuntu-us-mi] wtf?

[Amy Hussey]

I was thinking about using Windows 7 on my new laptop when I get it. Of
course it would be half Ubuntu, but Windows is good for games.

I agree that the FSF has gone too far.  They should look at who they're
alienating.

So, now that we agree, how are we going to tell them that this is
unacceptable?  I don't have a membership to FSF, so I can't cancel, and
telling them I won't get one probably won't do much to change their idea
(since they don't have my money, and they won't get it).

Any ideas?

Amy
