BadVista
The always remarkable Free Software Foundation have released a new campaign/site: http://badvista.fsf.org/
It is advocating free software (free as in “free speech” not as in “free beer”) and opposing adoption of Microsoft Windows Vista. Being a recent Linux convert and generally despising Microsoft for a list of reasons too long to mention here I’m quite excited by the campaign.
However, to give one example, as the site says:
Vista is being marketed to content producers, not consumers. If Windows XP was Microsoft’s attempt to embed a browser into the operating system then Vista is the attempt to embed DRM. Digital Rights Management technology has been applied to literally every ring of the OS architecture.
And like all good tech-savvy campaigns there is a blog associated with it at http://badvista.fsf.org/blog
