Windows Rules

[Rangarirai Matavire]

Dudes be serious... It makes me doubt whether this is an ubuntu forum or a
forum for windows pundits...there are numerous issues that the Free and Open
Source movement is all about...it is certaily not about the most popular
OS...It is much more about a mind frame, promoting awareness and
technological responsibility. Before you bestow so much honour on the
microsoft throne...think about the damage their proprietorship is causing to
the world, moreso to Africa..and Zimbabwe...we wont even try to discus that.
Free and Open Source Software is much more than a technology..it is among
other things about ownership, freedom, awareness, social responsibility,
development etc..it is the green movement in computing... and hey as much as
you have a free upgrade man...nothing is free so wise up!
