FSF Launches Anti-Vista Site 'BadVista.org'

Published on December 19, 2006 By Zoomba In WinCustomize News

What would a Microsoft product launch be without people up-in-arms protesting over it? Well, Vista is no different as the Free Software Foundation has recently launched the website BadVista.org, a site aimed at exposing the real truth behind Microsoft's latest OS. Among tidbits posted, are claims that Vista is a step backwards by adding unacceptable restrictions. The operating system is compared to a virus in several instances, and the FSF claims that systems such as gNewSense are a viable alternative to users considering upgrading to Vista.

Probably the most vocal opposition to Vista I've seen yet.

I would think this would only be newsworthy if it was an unbiased group presenting their newly changed opinion, not the obvious partisan rantings of a group of penguin huggers.

How do we digg this drivel away?
