Do not use Vista. Vista is evil

Listen, I hate Microsoft, and I hate Windows. These are no secrets. But I want to tell all you Windows users out there to stick with XP. Do not "upgrade" to Windows Vista. Why? (In part from Michael Geist.)

• You cannot upgrade your computer without Microsoft's permission. Not the RAM. Not the hard drive. Not the processor.
• You cannot make more than one backup copy of Windows. What if the backup copy is corrupt or lost? You are out $300-$500.
• Microsoft Windows Defender presents itself as a spyware and virus protector. Guess what? IT defines what is spyware and virus. That may include free software, freeware, and even software you may have written yourself. Yeah, liberty. Oh wait, what liberty?
• If your hardware is not 100% Vista Approved, Windows can automatically make your audio and/or video sound/look much crappier than it should. By playing it legally on legal hardware, it may be crippled, degraded, and altered, even though you own it. Awesome.
• Your computer will run slower than under XP. In fact, you may need to buy a new computer just to browse the web and check your email: something you've been doing for years.
• You may not alter any of this evil. By installing it, you have agreed that "you may not work around any technical limitations in the software".

스톨만이 형은 예전의 개발자 들이 서로의 소스를 공유해 가며 비즈니스를 하던 시대를 아름답다고 생각을 했지 그리고 기존 업체들의 OS소유에 대하여 무지 거부감을 갖었던 거고, Vista를 계기로 우리는 MS의 감옥에 갖혀 버리고 마는게 아닐까? 다른 선택의 여지도 없이?
