Microsoft’s software? It malware in its purest form: designed to operate in ways that abuse or harm the user. So says ul GNU.org website of the Free Software Foundation.
What Richard Stallman did not love any commercial operating system is consa known, but on pages of the GNU project you get to write that “Microsoft’s software is malware,” explaining that the malware “means software designed to work in ways that abuse or harm the user” and that in practice, “non-free software is often malware, because the developers are aware of the impossibility for users to repair any malicious features, are tempted to impose. ” They listed a series of issues of Microsoft systems, such as the presence of backdoor action “that come close to sabotage” DRM technologies, “that harm users of specific programs”, monitoring functions and default settings in Windows 10 that do not respect user privacy and giving Microsoft the “right” to spy files, the text entered, the specific words, location information, contacts, calendar entries and the web pages you visit, and even connects automatically sprotette computer to wireless networks and to show advertising.
In the past Stallman, the activist who initiated the project GNU / Linux, they were not even tender against OS X, Amazon, of ‘Internet of Things, preaching to the masses of non-technical users of the dangers of proprietary software, the locks of the vendor, and the code locked preventing illegal immigration with national intelligence agencies.
As we have reported other Sometimes, Stallman is so obsessed with NSA, privacy, security not trust either of Linux at least from what I understand by reading the complex procedure used to browse the web: fetching web pages with tools like wget, use the graphical browser only when necessary (it prefers the text browser Lynx) and possibly uses tools such IceCat through Tor (anonymous Internet communication system that uses the protocol known as onion routing).
