ES: La Distorsión Patrocinada por Microsoft de las noticias en el Reino Unido (Lerner Calumnia al Software Free/Libre Junto a Schankerman)

London



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: Para hacer descarrilar/deshacerse de los planes del gobierno de migrar al Software Free/Libre (en el Reino Unido y otras partes) Microsoft paga a Lerner y a un colega de LSE, Schankerman, para repetir vieja FUD (Miedo Incertidumbre y Duda) de Microsoft.

Por medio de códigos internas sabemos que las autoridades BRITÁNICAS locales exploran la posibilidad de usar más Software Free/Libre y en las noticias de esta semana tenemos artículos como por ejemplo:



* El gobierno revela estrategia, con código abierto a la delantera[http://www.computerworlduk.com/news/public-sector/3267647/government-unveils-it-strategy-with-open-source-at-the-fore/]

El gobierno ha puesto en marcha una estrategia para cortar el gasto público en las TIC del gobierno por "millones de libras a través de deshacerce de la duplicación y del desperdicio", y prometiendo mucho más uso del software libre.

La estrategia de las TIC del gobierno, puesta en marcha por el ministro para la oficina Francisco Maude del gabinete precisó hoy cómo el gobierno adoptará los métodos, las políticas y las habilidades correctas para asegurarse de que sus TIC apoyen servicios públicos eficientes.


* Reino Unido: Los Investigadores Dicen que el Código Abierto Baja los Costos, Aumenta la Seguridad[http://www.osor.eu/news/uk-researchers-say-open-source-lowers-costs-increases-security]

El sector del cuidado médico puede bajar sus costes y aumentar la seguridad de sus sistemas, haciendo más uso del código abierto, según la investigación en la Universidad del Instituto de Warwick para el Cuidado Médico Digital y el Centro Para la Informática de la Salud y de la Educación Multiprofessional en la Facultad de Medicina de UCL.


Esto compromete algunas vacas de efectivo de Microsoft (Windows y Oficina), así que el MONOPOLISTA puede ser visto defenderse de la misma vieja manera, a saber los puntos patrocinados por Microsoft siguen públicados en las noticias con el académico británico/americano que recibe dinero de Microsoft para hacer esto. Vea este nuevo ejemplo[http://www.zawya.com/mobile/default.cfm/sidGN_25032011_260314/actstory] de Schankerman y de un colega. Escribimos sobre él en [1[http://techrights.org/2011/03/03/lies-machine-vs-foss-policy/], 2[http://techrights.org/2011/01/20/factual-errors-and-microsoft-funded/], 3[http://techrights.org/2011/01/19/professors-sponsored-by-microsoft/], 4[http://techrights.org/2011/01/18/controlling-minds/]]. El artículo dice: No crea todo que usted lee sobre campos de la tecnología, pero también debe decir no crea que todo usted lee adentro sitios de la tecnología como el nuestro porque la fuente olvida mencionar el dinero de Microsoft que fue inyectado en este caso. Éso es cómo las noticias y la opinión pública siguen siendo compradas, barato.

Según otra alarma de Europa[http://arebentisch.wordpress.com/2011/03/31/microsoft-roundtable-on-eu-spectrum-policy/], Microsoft ahora está organizando una mesa redonda en el Espectro Policy de la UE:

Quisiéramos recordarle sobre la discusión de mesa redonda sobre recientes desarrollos en la política del espectro y su impacto en la industria de las TIC. El acontecimiento será el miércoles 13 de abril en el centro ejecutivo del informe de Microsoft, Avenue de Nerviens 85, 1040, Bruselas. El acontecimiento comenzará en el 10:30 y será seguido por un almuerzo y un tour dirigido en nuestro nuevo Centro de la Nube y de la "Interoperabilidad". La discusión de mesa redonda ofrecerá presentaciones de los expertos dominantes en la materia, cuyos diversos puntos de vista deben asegurar una discusión animada.


Más distorsión de la política europea y del cabildeo de la compañía americana. €¿Qué podía salir mal posiblemente? Es muy simple que Microsoft engañe a políticos, o como Tim lo puso el otro día[http://openbytes.wordpress.com/2011/03/30/why-a-start-up-should-avoid-microsoft-mpit-fail/], el lunes que un sitio fue lanzado con el apoyo de David Cameron para ayudar empresarios con el lanzamiento de su empresa. Oh alegría, usted sabe que esto será "bueno".

Hemos visto qué sucede cuando los M.P.(Microsoft Professionals) consiguen implicadas en ello.

€¿El título del post es por qué una PYME debe evitar a Microsoft? (MP+IT = #Fail) y recibimos anoche un enlace (vía el IRC) de Microsoft que hace movimientos que podrían potencialmente hacer dependiente de Microsoft al programa espacial de la India (que intentaron pasarlo disfrazado como cierta clase de caridad, no de lock-in -cerrojo). Sea vigilante porque como Pamela Jones de Groklaw lo puso la otra noche[http://techrights.org/2011/03/31/traul-allen-on-bill-gates-evil/#comment-113736], entendí mejor cuando leí el extracto de Paul Allen de su libro en Vanity Fair. Retrata a la gerencia superior [de Microsoft] como éticamente vacía.

"Conseguirámos que se vuelvan adictos, y entonces imaginaremos alguna manera cómo colectar en la década próxima."
