Who are the Real Pirates?

M$ has a EULA. Folks are supposed to follow it. So is M$… No. That would be too simple. M$ is now saying that if you rent a PC or rent time on it, they want a piece of the action in spite of the EULA saying it is OK to let people use the software on your PC. Read the comments following this article: “Microsoft ends Windows and Office 2007 rental restrictions

Truth is stranger than fiction when M$ wants to earn steal more money from their customers. The EULA is incomprehensible. Following it is impossible and it costs you dearly to try. Go Free. Use FLOSS instead.

My Mission

My observations and opinions about IT are based on 40 years of use in science and technology and lately, in education. I like IT that is fast, cost-effective and reliable. I do not care whether my solution is the same as yours. I like to think for myself.

My first use of GNU/Linux in 2001 was so remarkably better than what I had been using, I feel it is important work to share GNU/Linux with the world. I have been blessed by working in schools where students and school systems have benefited by good, modular software easily installed in most systems.

I have shown GNU/Linux to thousands of students and hundreds of teachers over the years and will continue in some way doing that until I die in spite of the opposition.
