Breaking News: Richard Stallman doesn’t like Microsoft
So, in a move that shocks absolutely no one, Richard Stallman (RMS) has once again denounced Microsoft and their tactics. This time, however, he has got me rather aggravated with his arguments. I am a very big fan of GNU/Linux, even running it exclusively on two of my three machines. But RMS, considered by many to be the father of the modern Free/Open-Source Software movement, has really jumped a boundary when he wrote a BBC article blaming Bill Gates for ruining computers for the majority of users. While I dislike many of Microsoft’s tactics and products, I really feel that RMS is out of line with this latest rant.
