Windows 7 Sins:

The case against Microsoft and proprietary software

... borrowed from here:

"The new version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, Windows 7, has the same problem that Vista, XP, and all previous versions have had -- it's proprietary software. Users are not permitted to share or modify the Windows software, or examine how it works inside.

The fact that Windows 7 is proprietary means that Microsoft asserts legal control over its users through a combination of copyrights, contracts, and patents. Microsoft uses this power to abuse computer users. At windows7sins.org, the Free Software Foundation lists seven examples of abuse committed by Microsoft.

I've been using Linux in one form or another, starting with Slackware Linux, since some time in late 1993 (my memory is a bit fuzzy on the details).  Back then installing Linux was a bit of a challenge for a noob like me... especially if you wanted a GUI, aka X which I did: Command Line stuff really wasn't my thing back then.  How things have changed... but I digress.

I had some fun getting those early versions going on my wizbang Edge 386 DX40 with 4MB RAM and a 105MB HDD (but I digress again).... I think I even managed to fry a monitor by trying to adjust the screen settings using 'vidtune' or whatever the equivelent was called back then (there goes the fuzzies again).
