●● Microsoft Inter-Nope: MSN No Longer for GNU/Linux Users?

Posted in GNU/Linux, Interoperability, Microsoft, Servers, Windows at 10:35 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Some time ago we saw Microsoft shutting GNU/Linux users out of Hotmail (and reportedly censoring complaints). Those who rely on MSN (IM) protocols are now suffering from similar consequences of changes; there are complaints all over the Web and here is just one. It works fine for Windows users, but most GNU/Linux users are left out in the cold.

Why is Microsoft doing this? Is this an error? Why should Free software projects come to rely on Microsoft? And yet, the company wants to become friends with projects like VLC? Mozilla can perhaps tell its bitter story about such tactics. █
