But will he allow others to release new modules under the GPLv3 and be included in the main kernel tree ? I also would like to know what he thinks of the changes. Why is he so much against the new revision ?
Hehehehe, mod him 5 for funny quote.
Seriously a person receiving a motherboard like this would usually return it so even if he didn't report the problem, they probably got a lot of returns anyways.

I fully agree with this but how will they convince everyone to use OpenOffice ? Seriously they will have a lot of problems with they folks who just won't use anything but Word. Word is currently the most powerfull word processor of it's kind (Meaning it will never beat emacs.) I just don't see those governement workers fully willing to relearn the tools they must use every single day. Maybe they can just write the stuff in Word and than use OpenOffice to convert it? But again this will cause a lot of wasted time when things just don't work.
Oh well I love the initiative but I am skeptical of it's lifetime. Maybe the next version of office will support ODF. Microsoft would probably not loose there Monopoly even if ODF was included. Most people use Word because it is so familliar to them.
Well there is also governement. We used to get vouchers (500$ cdn) to buy computers and broadband compagnies are subsidized a hole lot.
Prices are dirt cheap in Quebec compared to what I payed for in Florida. (30$ for cable internet compared to 40$ for slow sprint dsl in florida)

Basically the game is now old and boring and we need more players ;-)
