The Free Software Foundation is taking measures to deter IT decision makers from installing Windows 7. The foundation contacted 499 of the top Fortune 500 companies (Microsoft being the one excluded), and warned that upgrading to Windows 7 will result in a higher dependency on Microsoft. Instead, they encourage that the companies use GNU/Linux on systems.

Windows 7 is Too Hot, and seems like FSF Cant Handle the Heat.​

The non-profit organization is requesting donations to cover the cost of sending letters. If you care to fuel the fire, a $25 donation will support 50 letters and $100 will put 200 letters on the doorsteps of the decision makers.

What a load of bollocks and sour grapes.

Then again, these are the same people who call it "Windoze" and think they are witty :rolleyes:

Way to tarnish the Open Source image guys.

It's funny how jealousy manifests itself into these types of rediculous stunts to gain free advertising by putting down a product that they clearly cannnot compete with.

If the Free Software Foundation are really against proprietary software and are not jealous, why didn't they create a badsnowleopard.org or MacOSXsins.org website?

That's just silly. Why choose anything else over an OS that works as well as Windows 7? Sorry FSF but I'll gladly depend on MS...

I'll use Linux when an OS is created that's actually worth using over 7, and since that's not on the horizon, I'll keep using Windows.

The difference between Microsoft and FSF is that Microsoft actually listens to us. When we complained about Vista, they made kicka** Windows 7. When people complain that Linux and some GNU software is too complex to use, the FSF doesn't care. You've got the code, the FSF thinks everyone is a pro programmer and tells you to do it yourself.

I was going to file a formal complaint/protest/law suit against Microsoft too.

Then I realized I had nothing to complain/protest/sue about, I like Microsoft products.

I wonder if I can sue them for making me happy?
They've been sued for everything else.
