On the morning of October 25, activists from the Free Software Foundation appeared at the launch event of Windows 8 In New York. A cheerful GNU and his team delivered DVDs loaded with triskele, stickers FSF, and information about GNU / Linux, urging Windows users not to upgrade to Windows 8, and switch to GNU / Linux. |
People were queuing (yes, there are people queuing for anything) to buy the new version of Microsoft's operating system, they got a good surprise (for Halloween) when they came across a Wildebeest, the mascot of the Free Software Foundation (FSF).
Does this type of campaign really work? Sometimes, it gives the impression that it looks like giving away Real Madrid shirts in Catalonia (the Spanish community, the birthplace of Barcelona). If we look at it from this point of view, it doesn't make any sense.
However, it is also true that these campaigns can serve to take advantage of the media attention placed on the release of Windows 8 to spread free software, which is especially important if we remember the little media attention that is generally given to free software.

If we started to merge everything, microsoft would have to buy only one thing and discontinue it, to dismantle many projects
Being apart working for the same thing is good
I say that if they work, if they already give you the album, it makes you curious to run it. And from there probably a new GNU / LINUX user is born
I believe that this FSF campaign does serve and support GNU / Linux presence
????? Activists? It would not be better if you let me choose, that this silly one, it seems good to me that you give it to me but if we use windows it will be for something and see some of us know Linux, Solaris, etc but really in the end everything works with win and nothing happens, but you will always have the support of us who seek diversity that if I don't buy Apple …… ..I refuse to use him… and now I'm running away but I am forced to support him more and more professionally, sniff¡¡¡
but boycotting or bothering doesn't seem right to me, it's as if I go to a Nazi gay party for example to touch the webs or vice versa, let's think a little ... go to Aple's, hahahaha!
