MS To Finally End OEM Licensing For Windows 3.11
halfEvilTech writes with an excerpt from Ars Technica's story on the sputtering out of Windows for Workgroups 3.11: "Believe it or not, that headline is not a typo. John Coyne, Systems Engineer in the OEM Embedded Devices group at Microsoft, has posted a quick blog entry that broke the bad news: as of November 1, 2008, Microsoft will no longer allow OEMs to license Windows for Workgroups 3.11 in the embedded channel. That's exactly 15 years after it shipped in November 1993! Poor OEMs have so much to put up with these days; first Windows XP, and now this!"
Some of us feel the same about current software, and act accordingly.

Companies as well as users are finding value in the four software freedoms. IBM, Asus, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Chrysler, Lowes. even Intel's graphics division has used and vended free software. Can you think of a kind of company that has not moved to free software?
You can do as you please with your own code but don't expect me to use your software when I can have my software freedom and get my work done. Efforts to undermine software freedom through anti-competitive practices will hopefully get you fined or thrown in jail.
