Mandriva: An open letter to Steve Ballmer
When Steve Ballmer screws you over.
New Nigerian Classmate PC’s with Mandriva Linux to have MS Windows installed later.
What a load of crock! I suppose nobody ever accused MS of being ethical (at least without the sarcasm).
Why does this make any sense at all. I mean just look at this process:
Step 1 – Buy 17,000 Classmate PCs with Mandriva Linux preinstalled
Step 2 – See machines working correctly
Step 3 – Have machines shipped
Step 4 – Pay for hardware and software
Step 5 – Install MS Windoze on all PCs (?!&?*?#$!!!!!)
How the hell does any of that work? Is Microsoft just playing dirty wherever it can? Do they just want to subsidise African nations computer needs?
If they want to pay me to use MS Windows, send me a message.
“If they want to pay me to use MS Windows, send me a message.”
Great idea! From now on, if Microsoft wants me to use Windows, they have to pay me.
They’d have to pay me a helluva lot to use Windows… and I mean a helluva lot. It’s not as if they couldn’t afford it anyway. :p~~~~
