[ubuntu-us-mi] wtf?

I was thinking about using Windows 7 on my new laptop when I get it. Of
course it would be half Ubuntu, but Windows is good for games.

I agree that the FSF has gone too far. They should look at who they're
alienating.

So, now that we agree, how are we going to tell them that this is
unacceptable? I don't have a membership to FSF, so I can't cancel, and
telling them I won't get one probably won't do much to change their idea
(since they don't have my money, and they won't get it).

Any ideas?

So, I just received my mail from the FSF telling me that they're kicking
off
their anti-windows 7 campaign, and that this time it's based off the "Seven
Deadly Sins."
When is the FSF going to stop damaging our Open Source credibility? Having
people walking around in hazmat suits with "Anti-Vista" signs was bad
enough, now're were going to go and tick off a whole religious sector of
people by compairing their beliefs to a Microsoft operating system.
I know personally, that if my boss saw a man in a hazmat suit telling him
to
use Linux, he'd dismiss it straight away and think we were all wackjobs.
Am
I alone in this opinion, or do you fine fellows feel equally as frustrated
by the FSF and it's anti-campaign antics?
