Both are Dictators (I'm vezuelan and I live in venezuela), both promoted FOSS (linux) as the panacea of the c.science blah blah blah...
But the reality is very different, FOOS is kept on the public affiars dept. and MS Windows on the backstage, both venezuelan and cuban FOSS initiatives are pure hipocresy, are only part of a propaganda effort to minimize the colective image of the capitalism.
FOSS is to Communism as Patents to Capitalism, is the point held by they.
Pure hypocresy.
more on, last year linux on venezuelan desktops decreade presence by about 10% or more.
Personally I dismised Linux because I don't agree with the GNU patological anti-patent anti-drm philosopy and because on desktops Linux still a shame (on servers is really shinny).
Maybe a Rat's Shit, but is by far mire useful and powerful than Linux (at least the shit has some utility, Linux is very useful to help you to expend your time in uselees task ast to edit by hand a long configuration file you fond days before looking for how to setup your webcam...)...
I don't smoke anithing, but ther are people that use to inhalate the toxic vapor of a shit so called GPL.
It's is the same History with different writer and for the same purpose (Frear that malevolous Windows OS), It's the same history when people upgraded from w98 to w2000 and from w2000 to XP and from xpto XPsp2, it's the same tale, you must to frear to upgrade your system to the new windows
Just look at these "joke"
Vista's content protection will 'have to violate the laws of physics if it is to work'.
The Fact is that Windows Vista is The Best MS (or M$) Product EVER, have strong DRM protection because if you want to view DRM protected content your OS must complaint the (movie)Publisher's requeriments, If you want to watch the same content on Linux surely your OS will be upgraded, if not you'll never (at least legally) can watch that content.
Vista is the safest and most powerful environment for users and programmers (specially the 64 bit version),in the near future hacking a DRM protected software will be impossible or at least too hard to be a commercial Issue.
If You are a Smart User, instead to beleive on Linux & Anti-DRM Fanatics, you must to try W.Vista and Judge By Yourselves.
Fact Windows UP, Mac/OS UP, Linux losses in desktops (linux desktop base is now the half as few years ago), linus still winning on servers (only LAMP, samba & others are near inexistent), that's because the People Gets what they want, not what the fanatics wants.
Most Linux Fans are people that believes are "smarter", but why the Linux desktop is a BS, and why non-linux fans are people with a happy and prosper family?.
Be Smart just Live your Life .
Could be in an non free CDDL license escheme, with many parts of the OS closed.
Windows gives to MS a big % of its profits, I don't see MS distributing windows for free, they could open the source but never resign to they Intellectual Property.
Under a CDDL license escheme they could use the programmer's community to get new ideas (and pay for it) and debug the OS in a 100% Capitalist escheme.
CDDL is the license used by the solaris proyect, it doesnt kidnap yuor rights, also enables you to make fully commercial use of your work, and if you desires keep your work free.

Not as Obvious, the HATE.
Also the Anti-US, Anti-Freedom, Anti-Capitalism, supporters: Fidel Castro, HUGO CHAVEZ, Kim Jong il, the terrorism alliance betwhen MARXISTS and FUMDAMENTALISTS is Obvious, that is part of a Plan against the New World Order.
Yuo're a POS.
The real link of these terrorist attacks is the MARXISM (Fidel Castro - HUGO CHAVEZ - Kim Jong IL) and the FUNDAMENTALISM (BinLaden-Ayatolahs-Mulahs), and their dream to destroy the Capitalism.
What's the matter? If you don't agree you have the GNU licenses, Ok, now you can't use Ideas from others, but the others Ideas must be respected.
The freedom ends where the other's freedom begins, you're unhappy, sorry just spend more time on your OWN IDEAS and Don't steals these from others who lives of it's ideas profits.
I AGREE WITH YOU, who is free using "FREE SOFTWARE", the copiers, because we have tho king of users: PROGRAMMERS(P) AND NON-PROGRAMMERS (NP), (P) users may love to have the sourcecode of a program because they can add it own ideas to it, or to correct its errors, but (NP) users aren't intersted on modify it, they only want a better product and a better support, and this could not be reached without following the economy rules: you need to pay to gain.
The "FREESOFTWARE" fails here because you don't have a REAL tangible structure to demand or prize for the program quality.
I think that "FREESOFTWARE" is aplicable only to: Goverment Sponsored Projects, Philanthropical projects, or communitary projects, "FREESOFTWARE" is not aplicable for commeccial projects, because it denies (in facts) the property of the work.
As I see the sponsoring of the "FREESOFTWARE" comes from enterprises who needs and alternative OS to Windows and need to distribuite if for free, but self protecting from the laws who forbid this competition mechanism.
Also the sponsoring comes from slpeeless communist (they who don't beleive that the URSS dissapeared), that try to mount a charade to ignore the copyrights, the patents and the intellectual property, because they think that the intellectual property is not tangible, because untagible goods are not real goods, but they intentionally forgive that every thing is tangible because the brains can recongite it (remember TURING), and that each man has natural right of property on what it is fruit of his work, being a this tangible or intangible good. And this right gives the faculty them to do what they want with his goods. -This is the REAL ESSCENSE OF THE FREEDOM-, but they (the communist) don't believe on this ESSENCE.
The "FREESOFTWARE" is not legal because to use it in a work you can't separate the rights of your work and the work of the creators of the "FREESOFTWARE" and I think that somebody must demand it on a court, the "FREESOFTWARE" bypass your natural rights.
I write REAL-FREE SOFTWARE, you are free to use it or not, you are free to buy it or to go with the competition, and if you need the code you are free to gather a very big ammount of money to purchase from me my rights on it.
I'm not an anti-social, because my software gives money to many people who needs it to go to the market, anti-social are people who denies it, with a "Philosophy" based on LIES.
COPY RIGHTS is a CAPITALISM as
COPY LEFT is a COMMUNISM as
LEFTIES are COMMUNIST as
RIGHTIES are CAPITALIST as
RIGHT is a FREEDOM as
LEFT is a NO-FREEDOM
SO
CopyRights is a Freedoms and Capitalism as
CopyLeft is a NO-FREEDOM and COMMUNISM.
