A bit of a rant here, because guess what greeted me when I began checking my RSS feeds today on my lazy Saturday morning:

Promoting Microsoft? Who? Us?

Remember that whole promoting proprietary software on Planet GNOME kerfluffle?

I know this will sound insane, but I think a huge-ass button saying “Install Microsoft® Silverlight™” might possibly fall under the “promotion of proprietary software” heading?

Here is where you go if you click the button:

Is this Where You Want To Go?

Note that you are directed to press the “Click to Install” button, which does not exist. Oh, Novell – truly it is all worth it for the wonders you have wrought. You are indeed bringing Linux users around the world the Real© Microsoft®™ Experience. I had nearly forgotten the endlessly retarded bullshit one had to deal with just by turning on the computer when running Microsoft Windows – and 800X that hassle when running Internet Explorer – but Novell is bringing it all to Linux! Huzzah!

And, so what if it causes a minor stir in the community – who cares what it took to get where we are today anyway? This is truly important stuff! Damn the principles, full speed ahead to Redmond!
