2006 Software War Map between FOSS and Microsoft

Ant writes "Neatorama mentions Steven Hilton's Software War Map that depicts "the epic struggle of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) against the Empire of Microsoft. It was updated in 2006."

It's pretty

but what's the point? On a side note, this map is illegal due to copyright infringement of the Mozilla logos, since they're trademarked. I'm sure the GNWater GNBuffalo logo isn't trademarked. I don't know about the others, but I would imagine the SuSe and RedHat are officially owned.

Microsoft owns the courts, and the US owns the EU.
ReactOS doesn't stand a fucking chance.

RE: War Between Democracy and .........

The news about FOSS and Microsoft is repetitive and detracts from serious political action.

Please cover the war between democracy and the world's most dangerous "leader".

Thanks again,

Hi, twitter! Still pissed that Linux has done absolutely squat in the desktop space, and that Windows still dominates?

How about how Windows server sales have eclipsed UNIX this year? Damn!

Running Vista is a struggle, even worse than XP.

That's because it's BETA SOFTWARE, you fact-spinning idiot!

Face it, Windows rocks, and that's why it's the #1 operating system. It's #1 for a reason--it totally beats the rest. Linux has had, what 15 years to take down Microsoft? Obviously the market has rejected that messy hodge-podge UNIX clone in favor of the dominant software for PCs.

But hey, have fun in your little Linux community cloning Microsoft technologies like .NET (Mono)!
