If we apply this scientific method to computer science, Microsoft could have collected 220 computer specialists telling the world that Linux is bad, and everyone would have to agree.

"Besides, apart from some regulations on how much advertisements the TV-stations are allowed to send, they are basically free to do whatever they want. Otherwise you'd probably not see "Åpen Post" and "Torsdagsklubben" publically humiliate just about any prominent national figure."
Take a look at this (in Norwegian):

I am also Norwegian, and I don't think Norway has very much freedom of speech.
In this country we have 3 legal television channels. 2 of them is owned by the government., and the other has a 10 year monopoly on sending commercial television.
It was given that monopoly by the government, after promising to send the kind of programs that the government like.
Also the same applies to radio stations 3 govt.-owned and 1 commercial monopolist.
So, if someone wants to say something in the most important medias in Norway, they can choose between the government-owned stations or the 2 govt.-approved stations.
ah

ah.
Windows or Linux on a laptop is like putting a big diesel-engine in a real Porsche.
While these agreements can not be enforced in a court, breaking them will reduce their odds to get renewed the license.
ah.
