ES: Microsoft Contrata a Muchos Mentirosos Para Difamar al Software Libre estos Días

Annual report by Microsoft



(ODF | PDF | English/original)

Resumen: La 'Máquina de Mentiras' de Microsoft está trabajando en sobremarcha cuando el software libre esta en mejor situación en el sector público.

MICROSOFT recurre a medidas miserables no sólo por poner de relaciones públicas como "noticias"[http://techrights.org/2011/03/03/idg-microsoft-whitewash/], sino también por sobornar académicos (como siempre) y su envío de perros de ataque como siempre, para proponer su agenda aparentemente de direcciones "independientes" . El mes pasado escribimos sobre Josh Lerner y Marcos Schankerman propaganda financiada por Microsoft para los grupos de presión de Microsoft, como la infame Alianza Empresarial de Software BSA [1[http://techrights.org/2011/01/20/factual-errors-and-microsoft-funded/], 2[http://techrights.org/2011/01/19/professors-sponsored-by-microsoft/], 3[http://techrights.org/2011/01/18/controlling-minds/]] (necesitan algo "académico" para impulsar sus demandas ridículas con y, a veces IDC se los da). Hay una nueva entrada de blog de este par[http://hbswk.hbs.edu/item/6610.html], que contiene los clásicos puntos de Microsoft/Microsoft financiado. No queremos citar un fragmento de ella (que, básicamente, insiste en que el software propietario es una necesidad). No es sólo un comentario y se trata de:

Joel Consultor Open Solutions Consultoría
Lástima que Joel no menciona lo más importante. Ellos simplemente "olvidan" mencionar la financiación de Microsoft de estas fruslerías.

Techdirt está muy acostumbrado a desenmascarar las mentiras de la infame Alianza Empresarial de Software BSA[http://techrights.org/wiki/index.php/Business_Software_Alliance] y acerca de lo último de la BSA[http://techrights.org/2011/03/02/bsa-tries-to-exclude-freedom/] dice que "BSA reclama que los estándares abiertos aumentarán los costos" y lo refuta de la siguiente manera: "La Alianza Empresarial de Software (BSA), una organización que nunca ha rehuido haber empujando tanto FUD como sea posible para proteger a sus principales patrocinadores (empresas de software propietario como Microsoft y Adobe), esta en esto otra vez. Hace apenas unos meses se envió una carta a los políticos europeos que ni siquiera pasa la prueba de reír, haciendo afirmaciones como que el software libre significaba que era "no comercial". Su último es para advertir al gobierno del Reino Unido del grave error que sería para soportar los estándares abiertos y software libre de regalías, extrañamente afirmando que esto "aumentaría los costos de administración electrónica." Sí, mediante el uso de estándares abiertos y software libre de regalías, la BSA insiste en los costos subirán."

La BSA no está tratando de decir la verdad, es sólo un grupo de cabeza. La BSA a menudo se basa en los "estudios" financiados por Microsoft (ya sea del mundo académico o de IDC, que pertenece a IDG).

"Control Mental : Para controlar la producción mental tienes que controlar lo que entra a lamente".
