choices from the incompetence and fraud and extortion of the Mafia$oft corporation!

Why are all these people so desperately afraid of a free market?

Get a clue: Linux and Free Software ARE the internet now. Linux and Free Software are also

the core technologies of the data centers for most Fortune 500 companies and major financial

institutions (aka, the London Stock Exchange), as well as being the go to platform for any

national government or agency or organization or institution concerned in any way with

protecting their security and sovereignty (or any that are simply interested in reducing the

actual costs of their information technology). Linux has grown to rule the market place as the

core of most embedded devices as well, and is on the way to becoming the preferred platform

for mobile devices. Maybe all this explains why Red Hat is hiring while Mafia$oft is firing (from

the few jobs they haven't already shipped off to slave wage minions in Communist China or

India). Free and Freedom are destined to win over greed and tyranny every time.

So I suppose I shouldn't be surprised at how quickly the hired cult of corrupted computer

hate mongers for Mafia$oft have come out of the woodwork on this news item, attempting

to vilify the most sane and secure and functional and widely used information technology

solutions as something radical or extremist. The defenders of "defective by design"

proprietary products here sound _almost_ as rabidly deluded and vacuous as Sarah

Palin and her political peers. It is all so transparently desperate and pitiful.

Fortunately, no matter how many mad mercenary bloggers they dupe or how much

corporate media ad space the Mafia$oft buys up to spread their fraud and fud and

disinformation in denial of the realities, they are (thankfully) on the fast path to extinction.

Even their viral file formats and corruptions of public standards can't save them from the

meteor impact of a market liberated by the freedom of Linux.
