Down with Windows! Russian schools may adopt free software

A free online alternative to the Windows operating system is set to be introduced in schools in three Russian regions by 2009. If the pilot project proves successful, all schools across the country will make the switch a year later.

It's not entirely a monopoly. Many businesses and communication firms prefer to use Solaris, and it works just fine.

Hmmm... here's the thing... he just produced something else on a Linux platform... There's no real creativity, imagination, nor inventiveness here. RT SUCKS, perhaps as much as FOX news.

Good luck with everything, you dumb Russian cunts.

In Mother Russia WINDOWS uninstalls YOU.

The Lack Of Drive Support on Linux is a BiG problem for me.

And The GUI does suck.

Mac user says Mac's are the future, Windows user says Windows is the future,

Linux users will say that Linux is the future.

I say the OS that you like and that gets the job done will be the future for you.

Linux, comrade.

[nbm34]

THATS IT COMRADES.

wINDOWS IS AN EVIL MONOPOPOLY of the use of computers.

Windows make it expensive and impossible to encourage more advanced programming by intelligent young children, who couLD MAKE BETTER SOFTWARE free from the microsoft monoploy throughout the world. The Russians are leading a new revolution that will free the world from the corperate monopolists. WISH THEM good luck in this NEW REVOLUTION.
