A site i've been working on..

Its main purpose is to point out everything wrong with society, highlight the corruptness of capitalism, and act as a resource for social issues. Help & suggestions are appreciated.

http://www.lfwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page

This is a rundown of the content we're trying to aim for:

• To act as a portal for everything progressive (example)
  
• Embedded contemporary social documentaries/videos
  
• Regarding harmful companies, include pictorials and videos of what they do. Currently we're bare in this area, Dow Chemical would have to be the best example page. Microsoft is another example.
  
• Harmful politicians, obligatory reagan entry
  

Check the About Page for more info. Some of the contents are scraps left over from people fooling around that i've yet to organize.

As soon as we get Hulu embedding working we'll be adding Carl Sagan's Cosmos series and other videos.

On the microsoft page;

For most users, windows is significantly better than Linux. I'm actually in CS and I hate linux because it's too much trouble to use without jumping through a bunch of hoops and even then not getting exactly what I want. And I do this shit for a living. Unless you really know what you're doing or are really dedicated to it, windows is better than linux. That's not propaganda, it's just a fact.

otherwise I'm not commenting because if I do this will turn into a political debate and I avoid those where possible.

I was referring more to it's propaganda of misinformation(software accessibility, security), not ease of use.

Yeah, but for the points they made:

Performance: XP gives me better out of the box performance from my hardware because my hardware has actual proper drivers that come with it, I never did get my sound or video card to operate at the same capacity as they do on XP (see point re jumping through more hoops for less)


Reliablility: I have had much better reliability from XP than I did from my brief stint with ubuntu. XP doesn't really crash that much, programs that RUN on XP crash and that's not MS's fault.

TCO: If you're buying a computer and ever 4 or 5 programs to run on it, for the layperson, the TCO won't be much lower for Linux since Windows tends to come bundled as part of the deal. Unless you're building your own computer, the cost difference isn't that big. Plus, ya know, you won't be able to use your Linux system because of the aforementioned laypeople can't use fucking linux.


Security: This is the only point I'd argue against them on. The only one.

Linux can't replace Windows: For the average consumer who would read this for actual information? No, it can't.

Microsoft still engages in propaganda against open source software that discourages people from even giving it a try or to learn about it.

Meh, what about the other pages?

Well of course they do. That's just good business sense.

But otherwise the pages seem a tad... sparse.

For some reason I get the impression you're not too fond of Capitalism : D

It could be interpreted that way.
