FSF Protests Microsoft 7 and Proprietary Software

Posted on August 28th, 2009 by Urbain


SoftwareProtestThe Free Software Foundation held a rally Wednesday on Boston Common to protest Windows 7 and other proprietary software.

They set up a great big garbage can and threw fake software into the bin.  The Foundation members believe that proprietary software does not help people learn how to use computers and invades privacy. They also allege several other “dangers” and advocate open source software.

Microsoft declined to comment on the rally.
