Greg Kroah-Hartman Gripes About Microsoft's Linux Contribution; MS Renews Effort
dp619 writes "Microsoft's developers were missing in action after the company donated GPL-licensed drivers to the Linux kernel community in July, leaving significant work to the Linux community, according to Linux driver project lead and Novell fellow Greg Kroah-Hartman. The company rekindled its involvement after Kroah-Hartman published a status report this week. Kroah-Hartman said that other companies were also laggards in Linux development, and that Microsoft's lack of involvement was nothing out of the ordinary."
I've already had a few posts of my own down modded with, "Overrated." That's the moderation reason which, when FSF drones get mod points, they typically use, because it's the closest thing available to, "-1, Disagree," or, "-1, Author is writing statements contrary to our programming, which is unacceptable."
I'm also noticing that everyone who says the right things, about how evil Microsoft are, and about how perfectly just the community response is, predictably gets modded Insightful, as well.
How long is Linux going to be choked and held back by your existence, FSF? How long will we have a scenario here on Slashdot, where it is forbidden to make statements which are contrary to your mind control?
Keep modding me down, you corrupt, brainwashed cowards. My karma here is high enough that I can withstand it just fine. You haven't silenced me in nearly 10 years now, and I don't know why you'd think you're going to be able to at this point.
I will be interested to see if any of you actually have the spine to respond to this, or if you'll just respond rapidly and predictably, by down-modding me to -1. I've made it easy for you; you can almost claim your use of -1, Offtopic was legitimate!
Yeah... I'm kind of impressed that my original post is still moderated above zero.
LOL. Yes, I wrote a rant about that as well. I'm fully expecting it to go down to -1. Two of my other comments in this thread have already been hit.
"Onward, brothers! Comrades Stallman and Kuhn appreciate your efforts! The enemies of freedom must be stopped!"
