Comment Microsoft FUD - Stop it! (Score 1) 70
No my friend, the article comment itself seemed pretty relevant, and the fact that MS is positioning itself to dominate, and RAPE another market is something I am interested in. This however, is not new News.
Your comment however is enough to get me to write in. I was a teenage Linux dood and my passion for the OS carried out of my teenage years. Using linux cuts out apps that I might have access to in windows but if you ask me it's WORTH it.
I used linux when windoze could have been an easy way out. I did this because I believe in what it stands for. I believe that open source software will be superior and more stable. Maybe Linux is the closest thing to religion in my life!
Honestly, I think you have as much right to decide the content of slashdot and your comment expressed your opinion. If everyone flames an article, you can bet it won't be posted again. If you're in the minority, you're going to have to live it or leave. You can always skip the article.
Finally, I don't bash MS on principle, but I bash some of their techniques. I have watched them jump ahead in a market only to slap us with proprietary protocals which lock everyone out and Linux users a lot of pain. I have no need for video conferencing but fact that when I DO have a need, MS might be my only choice is very relevant and scary to me.
