Original MBR cartoon from Penguin Pete's highly recommended series

JUST OVER A WEEK AGO we wrote about Windows applications harmfully messing about with GNU/Linux partitions, just like Windows does (Microsoft does nothing to resolve this). Very recently we also heard some new lies from Microsoft [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] and the cartoon above captures it perfectly by poking fun at Microsoft's lies about having changed its attitude. "Slowly the Rift Between Microsoft and “Partners” Widens," claims Pogson right now. They too have grown tired of relying on Windows. "[Acer's] Shih clearly sees the value of openness and M$ and its OS is the least open part of the IT landscape," the short post explains. ⬆
