		<description>maybe not a big thing, but meaningful, I think - look at this link:
http://alexandria.wiki.sourceforge.net/File+Release+System+-+Offering+Files+for+Download#upload

and look at the section for windows users - they do not say &quot;web browser&quot;, but &quot;internet explorer&quot;.</description>

		<description>You are acting like zealots right now.

I mean, I am Micro$oftophobic too but I&#039;d appreciate it if the really heavyweight critique, ranging from trying to bribe Netscape and making exploder practically undeletable on purpose, to making competition to office 2007 seem trashy in the eyes of the mundane using their docx format. 

This critique of sourceforge is completely subjective.

I think that sourceforge, by making window$-only-software winning a competition, shows that open-source does not discriminate between platforms when making these decisions, and confirms once again that they are in fact supporting OPEN software, that everyone use, and not necessarily Linux-only zealots.</description>

		<description>And how about your constant promotion and defending of Google?

Google, the &quot;we do no evil&quot;, hypocrites.

		<description>If you want to criticize someone for recommending proprietary or windows only software, criticize yourself.

You&#039;ve several times promoted in this blog proprietary software, products and services. You&#039;ve also promoted windows-only software and mac-only software.

And promoted hardware from companies who couldn&#039;t care less about software freedom (or freedom in general) and users rights.

So, Sourceforge promotes some windows only software. So what? It&#039;s still open source. It&#039;s doing its job. Doesn&#039;t discriminate.

How about yourself? Have you being something useful? Besides trowing things to the wall to see if they stick, by the ton.

No, I don&#039;t think you have.

Someone might called you an hypocrite. What do you think? What do you call someone that speaks for something and forces others to follow but is unable to follow it himself?

Conscience you don&#039;t have, that&#039;s for sure...
