Three Wise Men

There is no better way to start an evening as unpacking new computer and starting to install new and fresh operating system on it.

Since HP declared that 32bit version of the Windows Vista operating system will run on the notebook in question I decided to put that statement to the test. Actually I used bleeding edge technology, because I was not ready to buy Windows Vista and Microsoft is kind enough to provide you with a free license for Windows 7 RC version.

Something has been bugging me for a long time now.

I am primarily GNU/Linux user, power user, zealot and advocate. I am also a developer and I developed software for various operating systems ranging from AIX, Solaris, HP-UX and Linux to Windows, software that was commercial and copyrighted and free software that was copylefted and released under GPL license. So I can objectively represent either side of the coin.

What has really irritated me is that there are numerous people that have absolutely no clue what are licenses, what is intellectual property, why is piracy bad and why copyrights can’t just go away, why we can’t have all-you-can-eat-forever-and-ever situation regarding intellectual property.
