Perspective of a Thinking Human Being.

I posted this on the Mandriva CEO, blog: [edited, so read it again]

To the people saying:
“Once you sold something, and [y][o]u got your money, I am not sure how can [y][o]u blame anyone. I mean the PC is their’s now, they are free to install whatever crap they want to… [d]on[’]t you think…?” [edited for bad grammar] [still, way to many uses of the dot]

You surely are an immature unthinking person like Steve Ballmer and Microsoft in general, the believe of, "just care about the sales not the people nor quality", is a common Microsoft saying. Just think about how they celebrated selling 88 millions copies of an Operating System that is on beta quality status and lots of people are disliking. In the other hand, François obviously doesn’t care about the money that much, he cares for the people, this is actually a good ethic behavior. Steve Ballmer, is, and has always been but a joke, just a puppet which Microsoft uses to show they are immature, unthinking people. Steve is actually the face of dumb in Microsoft, do you believe he actually controls anything?, I mean he is the greatest joke ever in the IT world, just as the word inept can be  easily associated with Steve Ballmer from Microsoft.

But, is good to know Microsoft fear Linux that much, and is scared to death about the progress it is making. The coming generation, is what Microsoft fears the most. Just think about it, the children’s of all this thousands of open source enthusiasts, that will use Linux since their early years, that sure is frightening to you, isn’t it Microsoft?

I read the letter, from François,  and thought, man, this really comes from the heart of a person that do love what he is doing and care about his business in a passionate and professional way, not in a "let’s forget about everything and everyone opinions" way, like that, which is common on Microsoft. Even though I’m not a Mandriva user, I do recommend it to friends above Ubuntu openSuse and Fedora. And will keep doing it, since I know this is a quality distribution, I tested the 2008.0 release and is the best so far. If you haven’t give it a spin, but if you are an Arch Linux user, just have both installed.

The Arch Linux newsletter has been sent, it took me a lot of time to do the work, really I just finished like 30 minutes ago. But, is now up for Jason Chu to publish it on the Arch Linux main site. As much as I liked the old newsletter style, I thought it was old and needed a refresh. So the mailing list has been branded like all other Arch Linux projects, having the same style and quality you’ll expect from us. I really appreciate the community, you guys are doing an awesome job at making the newsletter be what it is now. This week was very though on making the newsletter, but since the format is done and the first one is going to be out with the new format, it will hopefully take less time with all the others to come.

What can you expect on this newsletter? New sections, improvements, html code clean up, better style, removed tedious and irrelevant sections. I hope the new style is one that is easy to read for all of you, and you find it comfortable. If for any reason you feel the style can be improved, please feel free to send me an email, I will gladly look at the suggestions.

 Now, for the future, I plan on making evolutionary improvements rather than revolutionary. With this newsletter I felt the hard work that goes into revolutionary improvements. But sure, expect even better quality newsletters as times passes. Thanks for reading, I do appreciate your time.
