Comments on: How Novell and Microsoft Cooperate Behind the Scenes http://techrights.org/2008/12/04/novell-microsoft-cooperation/ Free Software Sentry – watching and reporting maneuvers of those threatened by software freedom Fri, 25 Nov 2016 09:41:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.9.14 By: G.

Robotic consent and unbridled hatred of whatever it is he’s attacking this week.

Works wonder for the blurb nation. See? See how many people agree with what I’m saying? I must be right!

Note: writer of this comment adds absolutely nothing but stalking and personal attacks against readers, as documented here.

However, at the end of the day, they would only make that mistake as a result of the tremendous marketing and lobbying effort put on by M$.

It’s along the same level as using melamine in food. People get sick or die who would have otherwise stayed healthy. Lots of money is lost that would have otherwise been spent on progress rather than cleanup. Why should it be any different just because it is “…with a computer” or part of a cult?

You have now blamed Microsoft for soliders and patients dying. That’s unbelieveable.

Sometimes bad people do bad things, deal with it. In this case it’s your zeros at&from MSFT killing both your economy and your fellow countrymen.

In the case of hospitals:

Downsize hospital staff by any large percentage and there will be a corresponding increase in deaths, both short term and long term, as a result in the reduced service. Do that same reduction of service instead by torpedoing the infrastructure with *known* defective, unreliable, insecure and inefficient software and the result is the same, albeit while eating more of the budget.

Do that over time and in the face of advice and data to the contrary and you have documented that the individuals involved are going out of their way to cause harm. People that cause massive damage and death are dealt with by law and are in a bad position. Those that do it knowingly or repeatedly are in a worse position. Those that do it both knowingly and repeatedly are in a far worse position. And worst are those that do it knowingly and repeatedly and fight attempts at prevention.

Now look at how few deaths and how little economic damage, relatively speaking, Osam bin Laden has caused compared to the zeros at&from MSFT.

It’s not as dramatic as Bhopal, but more intentional and far more resulting deaths, suffering and costs.

How many patients and soldiers must die before MS executives and their collaborators are taken to task? Many, such as the MSCEs, can probably get away with fines and/or community service. However, the ringleaders, Gates, Ballmer, Allchin and co, are candidates for the gas chamber.

You can’t be serious?

MS is giving us these:

So, by spreading M$ technology, Novell will also be spreading the technology of failure. The hospitals are still not cleaned up, nor are the bases. These put an inappropriate load on the staff and end up taking enormous quantities of resources away from the core missions.
