Just because you take an abstract idea and say you do it
“on a computer” or
“over the Internet” doesn’t mean you
deserve a patent, according to an amicus
brief filed on Friday
by Google, Facebook and six other tech companies

So far, the only forces that I have found driving users from
Linux back to a walled garden have been specific games and
Unity. When I converted one computer from XP to Fedora, the
users were amazed at the speed increase, but disappointed
when WINE would not run The Sims. In the past year, I have
seen Unity be a dealbreaker with 5 people. Three of those
went from willing to try Linux to unwilling to consider it
again. Two of those stayed with Linux after putting KDE on
their systems. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

For most people, when the 'freedom of Linux' means they can't use the software
they *want* to use, it's not 'freedom'. There's no need to get all snarky about
it.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
