GNU Hands Out Trisquel At a Microsoft Store

Well, GNU returned for a Microsoft store's 'Tech for Tots' session on December 20th in Boston, MA. Like in October, the activists (accompanied by a gnu) handed out gratis copies of Trisquel GNU/Linux — a free alternative to Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 8."

    No, the problem is that they're trying to compete with windows 8.

    The best way to compete with windows 8 is let people try it.

    Nuh uh! Debian allows you install software that Richard Stalin disagrees with. You're more free by being denied this ability!
