can someone summarize this thread ? i m not sure if we are talking abt foss success stories anymore.
Real one true and fully unofficially licenced genuine advantage Summary: Not so newbie thinks 1) M$ popularised the desktop 2) is good at marketing Replies point to info showing things to be something else 4) Op thinks if M$ is popular and if it's not marketing it must be some other "thing" they do right - however he is cluless about this "thing" 5) Someone points out M$ unethical behaviour 6) Op confuses ethics, money making and business 7) Dinesh thinks anybody who corrects M$ crappy PR is an ogre and we should learn from M$ 8) Everbody is still wondering what is it that he wants us to learn 9) Inbetween everbody lets off some steam.
Here is the summery.
<sarcasm> When a newbie asks a question we will ask him/her to f*** up and RTFM.
We will blame all FOSS issues to M$ and their puppets.
Usalibilty in FOSS is f*** word so please don't ask. Usability is also against our principles and values. However, if you do make a mistake of asking be ready for flames.
If you want a feature in FOSS, please write one yourself, we are too busy bashing M$ and their puppets.
If you find a bug in FOSS, don't discuss it in this forum. This list is dedicated to abuse M$ and it's evil ways.
If FOSS is not getting adopted blame M$!
