This site needs to stop promoting freedom restricting software. WTF is a blatant article about Windows even doing here?!?
Personally, I don't mind them. It's actually kind of amusing to see that Redmond's new OS is so screwed up that it takes special effort to make it work like the very build they've discontinued.
In the meantime, the very first binaries that I wrote ages and ages ago on GNU/Linux still work without having to go into a special mode, rattle some chicken bones and break open a gourd.
It gets even funnier that despite the fact they are selling the software, they are having to resort to the same tactics that dope users have--to give it to the users for free until it would be painful to go without, then turn the thumbscrews. Had I not heard about it from a Linux news aggregate, I wouldn't have had the biggest laugh I've had in months--info about a particularly nasty marketing campaign that I'll be more than happy to mention to people considering a Win2GNU migration.

Yes it belongs here.....
We need to be kept abreast of what the biggest enemy of Foss is doing in an effort to hold us back.
And I agreed that M$ has a drug dealer mentality!
