Do you know why i dont use M$ Wintendo? because im tired of
being screwed by M$.
In the past i caught huge amounts of spyware just surfing the web ,
without authorizing any website to install software or something like
that , since i changed do Firefox never more had problems.
After almost 8 years double-clicking to install software , had annoying
anti-vírus always saying that i should do a system check ,
defraging the hardrive etc... i was sick of it , and once
someday windows again had a stability issue (this time
couldnt shut down Nero) , I understand it was time to change
, gnu/linux was the perfect answer(TM).
Besides my conscience doesnt let me use M$ Evilware(TM) anymore.
P.S. Yes i want IE and Wintendo to be insecure and unstable , but hey ,
im not worried about that , it is M$ speciallity (dont
they have a patent on that?).
I for example , usually open my father work docs in ubuntu (he is a policeman , and around here , government unfortunally still uses M$ in almost every public place) , if OOO didnt suport it , i would be forced to have M$ wintendo plus M$ office to open them , and for me , wintendo is only for playing Counter strike source , not for anything else.
Besides,removing the M$ office compatibility , would be playing the same kind of dirty game that MS plays with theirs closed formats.
After all they are making the first step to make a console more look-a-like to a pc , crashes are no longer exclusivity of a computer owner (or shall i say a wintendo user?)
This is a area where i must admit that windows is better than gnu/linux.
In a gnu/linux distro you have to use the package-manager to install a program , you can do it in the bash or with a GUI , in windows you just have to surf the web and software is installed without you even notice.
Responding to this measure , google will start to promote FOSS even more , and maybe including some side-links about Foss on every search you do;)

They launch the new office suite with a total different UI , that way their costumers only when fully adapt to the new UI
will understand that they were once again screwed by M$ , and that the only things new in MS office are formats that are non-open copys of open formats , and new ways to crash the office suite.
Why when i install windows i cant choose if i want to install other MS crapware or not ? is that hard to introduce a option in the OS installer asking me if i want that shit on my pc or not?
I would say free as free speech , but opensolaris isnt that free.
I would say free beer , but i doubth i could get a free copy by legal means.
By the way im a great fan of RMS and the Gnu project (i am one of those who say Gnu/Linux instead of just Linux) , but face it , without the penguim the OS isnt that cool , what is the fun in use it if i cant spell things like : Hello Mr Gates , i will be tour server today:evil:
I dont want to flamme but... why just not use Gnu/Linux (before Torvalds there was Stallman) both in Desktop and servers , i currently use Ubuntu and cant complaint , it works great for Desktop , and that way they would save a lot of money.
-I was tired of anti-virus , anti-spyware , etc.... -I was tired of having to wait an eternity for security patches , and new features -I like the idea of free software as in freedom of speech -I wanted someting new -I love the package manager (being capable of installing someting just doing apt-get install XXX ROCKS) -I like having actual control my computer -I love being able to costumize my OS without having to install a bunch of crap -I love to choose what i consider best for me , instead of someone doing it for me (Ubuntu , Mandriva , Suse , slackware , gentoo , etc... almost 500 diferrent options). -I hate defrag -I like being able to use a decent console Besides , if i was forced to listen that horrible music once again i would start a killing rampage .
My thoughts exactly .
After all , this is gonna result in a "fusion" between booth market shares , and make multi plataform software programing much more apealing ( specially if we consider that are booth " long lost brothers " of Unix ) , and as ultimate result , Microsoft will lose the power of many closed formats (directX , activex , etc...) in favor of open formats.

And even if i can afford one , who says that i want Mac? Gnu/Linux is just the OS for me
