• # Ah le beau FUD

    Posté par . En réponse au journal Les sept péchés de Windows Seven. Évalué à 6.

    1) Poisoning education : Microsoft spends large sums on lobbyists and marketing to corrupt educational departments.

    Heureusement on sait tous que les boites vendant du Linux ne font rien de ce genre elles, le marketing et le lobbyisme chez IBM, Redhat et Novell ca n'existe pas du tout.

    2) Invading privacy: Microsoft uses software with backward names like Windows Genuine Advantage to inspect the contents of users' hard drives. The licensing agreement users are required to accept before using Windows warns that Microsoft claims the right to do this without warning.

    a) Rien n'oblige les utilisateurs de Windows 7 a faire tourner WGA
    b) Il n'inspecte pas le contenu du disque, mais verifie le systeme lui-meme et rien d'autre

    3) Monopoly behavior: Nearly every computer purchased has Windows pre-installed -- but not by choice. Microsoft dictates requirements to hardware vendors, who will not offer PCs without Windows installed on them, despite many people asking for them

    C'est 100% faux et facilement prouvable (accord avec la justice, existence de nombreux PCs sans Windows)

    4) Lock-in: Microsoft regularly attempts to force updates on its users, by removing support for older versions of Windows and Office, and by inflating hardware requirements.

    C'est tres drole ca, MS fait encore du support pour NT4(1996) et Windows 2000 (2000) ainsi que XP (2001).
    Qq'un ici pour me montrer une boite qui fait du support pour une distrib Linux de 2001 ? Non bien sur.

    5)Abusing standards: Microsoft has attempted to block free standardization of document formats, because standards like OpenDocument Format would threaten the control they have now over users via proprietary Word formats. They have engaged in underhanded behavior, including bribing officials, in an attempt to stop such efforts.

    De nouveau totalement faux, MS n'a absolument rien fait pour bloquer la standardisation d'ODF

    6)Enforcing Digital Restrictions Management (DRM): With Windows Media Player, Microsoft works in collusion with the big media companies to build restrictions on copying and playing media into their operating system.

    Marrant, j'ai jamais eu aucun probleme avec mes videos personnelles et mp3, c'est drole comme ils ecrivent cela pour induire que ca affecte toutes les videos et fichiers audios hein

    7)Threatening user security: Windows has a long history of security vulnerabilities, enabling the spread of viruses and allowing remote users to take over people's computers for use in spam-sending botnets. Because the software is secret, all users are dependent on Microsoft to fix these problems -- but Microsoft has its own security interests at heart, not those of its users.

    Quand on voit la quantite de failles dans les distribs, je rigoles un grand grand coup.
