Is it appropriate for FOSSForce to carry an ad for a conference
– Ignite Your Business – which says “Come learn why Windows 10
is the best operating system for business use” ?

A friend wrote, after reading this article: “Don’t trust
Microsoft, don’t use them, ever. Microsoft are monopolists.
They are mean, nasty, liars and cut-throats that should be
resisted in every way possible. Now is not the time to “ease
up” on Microsoft. No company or educational institution should
be dependent on Microsoft. People need to exercise their minds.
Linux/BSD/FOSS lets you do that — a thinker’s operating system.

“Don’t be deceived… Big M is still fighting Linux tooth and
nail. [The biggest way MS is doing this is the UEFI/secure-boot
BIOS system that Windows 10 requires on all computers, and
which is designed to prevent the computer from running any
other operating system than Windows, such as Linux or *BSD.]
The best way to stop Microsoft’s anti-FOSS activities is just
don’t give them any money. If you see Microsoft on the device
or software, don’t buy it.”

Here’s my compilation of some evil anti-FOSS operations by
Microsoft (written before UEFI):
