Submission + - FSF launches campaign against Windows Vista
FrankNFurter writes: "The FSF yesterday launched BadVista, a campaign against Microsoft's new operating system. The aim of this is to inform users about the (alleged) harms inflicted by it on the user and free software alternatives.
Quoth program administrator John Sullivan:
"Vista is an upsell masquerading as an upgrade. It is an overall regression when you look at the most important aspect of owning and using a computer: your control over what it does. Obviously MS Windows is already proprietary and very restrictive, and well worth rejecting. But the new 'features' in Vista are a Trojan Horse to smuggle in even more restrictions. We'll be focusing attention on detailing how they work, how to resist them, and why people should care.""
