"What is Microsoft addiction? It is hopeless dependence on a computer operating system that is more insecure than a junkie in a room full of narcs and more expensive than a hit of heroin. In the end, this addiction strips its users of all privacy and independence. This operating system is controlled by a ruthless multinational software cartel. Once you're caught in their .net like a drowning dolphin, Microsoft pushers know they can hook you on even more expensive software. Soon, you're mainlining the hard stuff … stuff like the infamous M$ Office XP -- a program that not only costs more than XTC or cocaine, but reports your activities to your pusher, and demands that you get permission to "reactivate" the software simply because you dare to make changes in your system."

"What Bill Gates doesn't do to you, some script kiddie will. There are
more holes in Microsoft software than in a heroin addict's clammy gray
flesh. Worms and viruses ooze through them like HIV through a dirty
needle."

I don't know what goes on in their office, and I don't think I want to.



That's a link to an outside site, not their own.
I think it's humorous, quite frankly, but I don't think I would include it in any serious site to advocate for OSS (and indeed, do not include it or link to it from school-library.net's OSS advocacy pages for that reason.)
A bit immature, perhaps, but still funny, IMHO.
