I am sorry you feel ill
I agree that MS and Intel have their agendas.
Most people and corporations do.

Russian education is going to Open Source

Now hardware offers a choice.
Despite all the odds and a tiny percentage of the users.
Linux is becoming an option

I chose it. So did you.
Hacao is a great choice.
In hardware.

Linux in hardware. On phones (the computers of the future).
What does Google (the next Microsoft to be sure) use?
Linux.

Hacao is another success story.
More to come.

The principle of open source works.
Is working.
The proof arrives continually.
Where is the hardware of the future gonna be produced?
China. Ah yes they use Linux . . .

Anyone seen the future?
Penguinated.

I'm tempted to say more, but I'll let you off!

Anyway, I do feel sick, as it happens. I made the mistake of eating tons of crisps (knowing well that too much salt doesn't go down well with me) - just being a glutton; then I compounded the situation by finding some sugary sweet things and gorged myself on these whilst typing into this forum. I deserve to feel ill now I suppose.

My partner is actively into Animal Rights issues, and there is a new centre concerned with the study of Human-Animal relations at the local university here. So today I've contacted the office of the local Animal Rights group, and also the Professors at the centre for the study of Human-Animal relations, to tell them that using Microsoft products (which they do) sponsors Animal testing and so on. In evidence I gave them examples of several very large biomedical research projects being funded by the Bill and Melinda Gate's Foundation.

I'm interested to hear their response; like many people they have of course become addicted to Microsoft's OS and applications (which are afterall marketed much like a drug). Like addicts, therefore, I suspect they will try to make excuses for themselves in order to continue using the Microsoft offerings they have become accustomed to. Rather emotively I suggested to them that every time they hit a key on the keyboard they were effectively contributing 1 cent to animal experimentation...

It is similar, I suppose, to the problem they may themselves have trying to convince habitual meat-eaters to give up their barbaric practices. Not that I'm saying what my own point of view is, though anything negative I can say against Microsoft suits me fine.

I did of course offer to help them clean up their act with installations of Puppy Linux as an ethical alternative.

Bill and Melinda's Foundation also does a hell of a lot of good for the world.

It is not my desire to get into a debate about that; I only mentioned the matter at all because I may be able to get some organisations to use Puppy Linux because of it.
