Which evil empier is eviler?

[Wechter, Ron]

Just call it paranoia...  I am slowly seeing my "Freedom of Choice" with
computers being diminished slowly.  Im still searching web for possible
projects for Linux that are preparing for MS's legacy free standard - Seems
like they are trying to dictate how hardware is being configured.  Instead
of MS programming for the Hardware the are forcing the hardware to be
developed around the OS.

I don't understand what the big deal is even if this
story were true. Linux is NOT Redhat. I don't see how
this would have much affect on GNU/Linux as an OS. If
AOL really wanted to use Linux as a "cheap ploy" to
sell accounts, they could just base it
on Redhat or whichever distro they wanted and just
make an AOLinux.
