Nigeria Favors Mandriva Over Microsoft Once More

and yet , you somehow manage to get lost and mistakenly navigated to a
Vista newsgroup.

No, I do it on purpose to help those frustrated Vista Virus users learn
about Ubuntu so they can have an alternative to the Vista Virus. It's a
noble endeavor.
Surely you have never included links to ubuntu ... I mean , why would
you do that ?

See above.

So, you struck out trying to call me a bigot by promoting Ubuntu but
make no comment about the blatant bigotry displayed by RobDee and
others. One can only conclude that you think bigotry to be a fine thing
if it's directed at Nigeria and you're a Vista Virus user.

1. I saw comments on Nigerian scams...not sure how that's bigotry.
Saw you comment on American scams...by your definition that's bigotry ?

2. I haven't used Vista Virus , is it for testing AV ?
If you can link to it , I would like to test it against NOD32 ver3.

Not at all. Them's the facts.

Does flippancy run in your family?

You are one greatly disillusioned, lying, blustering, insulting bigot.
You just refuse to accept the facts of what you are.
Oh and most Internet scams originate in India and Nigeria.
Lying loser.

I'm a Nigeria bigot So F'ing what?!

You're one of those stupid shit heads that think their clever and smarter
than everyone else aren't you?

Nice try stupid but we can see right through your dumb ass.

The fact that you waste your time around here proves your not to bright and
have no life.

How long will you have to spam this group with your Linux crap before you
actually go so something useful with it? (Your life not Linux)

You accomplish nothing here other than making noise and cluttering up the
group and preventing people that come here for answers about Vista from
getting those answers, because you turn every thread into some flame war.
You're a retard and a waste of time

You're not going to change MS
Bill isn't going to rewrite Vista based on Linux
You're not going to sell Linux to the world
You're wasting time and basically just being a pest.
You've accomplish nothing other than making yourself look like a twit.

Congratulations!

Go outside twit and look around, there are so many more important thing in
this world to crusade against. Get a clue your wasting your time and every
ones else's.

I know your real name it's Twit

Let me go slower for you: you want me to leave. I will not leave. Ergo,
you won't get what you want. So, how does it feel to want and not get, liar?

Its another MS stinker. Linux gets the deal so lets drop our prices.
In any other industry it would be called dumping.


So an OS that is free must be the ultimate in dumping then.

Dumping is where you sell below cost price.
The cost price of an OS license is close to zero so unless M$ give
it away they are not dumping.


No in business it is dumping. Linux in itself is not a business. There
to. They don't cut their price to undercut MS.
So then it MS's cost is close to zero why do we have to pay so much
for it?
So MS is either dumping or gouging.
caver1


So what's it called when you sell a "free" product ?
Gouging ?
Scamming?

Linux wants to play big business, but doesn't like the game ?
Boohoo


Linux is not sold. Some services are sold or programs that are built
for Linux are sold.
the open source portion is never sold.
If you look at the Nigerian debacle MS wasn't making the deal with the
Nigerian gov't it was making the deal with the supplier. The Nigerian
gov't had to step in and say no our contract was for Mandriva. So MS
was even trying to slip it in under the table.

But as luck would have it, XP disc have the ability to format HD's.
Clever devices, computers are.

Which is true. The reverse is also true.

Contract ?
You mean a service contract...that unless specified doesn't prevent
overwriting linux with windows.
They would simply not contact Mandriva for tech help (why would they).

A quote from the article :
The organization reserves the right to choose whichever platform is best for
Nigerian students, which could also include Microsoft's software in the
future, said the official.

Unless you are privy to the details of the contract, the above quote implies
the contract in no way "binds" the OS to the computers.

I have a license agreement with Microsoft...in no way am I "bound" to have
it installed.

My understanding is 11,000 out of the 100,000 systems will get Mandriva
Linux. So, a significant portion is still going to Windows. A lot of
persons in the country seem to still be swaying towards Windows
regardless of the Mandriva deal.

Don't know, I think the remaining operating system choice is up in the
air and not defined for the remaining units.

Reason being, it states "is expected to eventually ship more than 100,000
of the computers".

So reads to me more like they are shipping 11,000 units now and more
later. Not unlikely that the additional units would have the same OS as
the first 11k, whatever it will end up being.
