Comments on: The Problems with Attempted Office Shift to the Web http://techrights.org/2009/07/20/office-shift-to-the-web/ 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: DiamondWakizashi http://techrights.org/2009/07/20/office-shift-to-the-web/comment-page-1/#comment-71007 Tue, 21 Jul 2009 04:46:30 +0000 http://boycottnovell.com/?p=15197#comment-71007 This website tells people the truth, unlike the Microsoft tainted media, who shamelessly promote shoddy, expensive, insecure, DRM infected Microsoft trash.

“IDG, IDC, and Microsoft Money on Their Table”

“Microsoft Pays Ziff Davis to Promote Windows Vista”

“Bill Gates and His Press Rewrite History Amid Semi-retirement”

I don’t think history will be praising a Microsoft dark age tainted by malware, Windows zombies, viruses, DRM, back doors, vendor lock-in and countless incidents of law breaking and sleaze.

That is, if you ask his on-line supporters. The “real world” didn’t care that much about him and it showed at the ballot box. I can’t stress enough that the perception of Microsoft among Linux users and FOSS advocates does not match that of the general population or other computer users. No rain of terror, no dark age, no ‘axis of evil’ references.

Point being, on the web perspectives can very sharply from reality. This website represents a sub-culture within a sub-culture. If you read this news here everyday you’d think the sky was falling because only the negative stories that suit Roy’s appetite are presented. Any positive news is either ignored or spun to look as bad as possible. I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say this website outfoxes Fox news, and that’s no small task.

Whatever ‘goodwill’ they pretend to do is regarded with very high suspicion and the gates foundation is a farce (a business masquerading as a philanthropy). Heck, microsoft is a better chameleon than its sold-out gecko.
