Forget M$... that is plenty an issue of my rants...

And the problem is right that... forget M$... considering TomTom case, isn't there something better to offer than FAT32... OF COURSE IT IS! NO?... but the market is "used" to FAT 32 and is a uphill battle to get something else adopted !

Hei!... but isn't also much more expensive to buy it and or organize all those "pressure groups" and all the politics behind it... me(?) CEO of Tom Tom and i would not pay 1 dime of license... it can only be a joke if its not a trap... there is so much better things to use than FAT32... they want to sue ?... fine!... next day i would be using something much better... cut all strength out of M$ arm... and forgetting about M$...

This are only issues because the plethora of dark angels out there have actually convinced ppl that Linux and OSS is only good for servers under the strong arm of a institutionalized industry umbrella... but they are not only convincing, they have other *infiltrations*... even OSS developers believe it... and the stupid M$ is like one of those stupid kids that are always stepping in front of the camera on purpose, trying to get attention with their hijacking deals, like the Novell one and others... they are, or can become quickly, totally irrelevants if ppl not only starts to belive in it...** BUT ACTUALLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN** by using extensively the best that OSS has, and try to be better than M$, even or specially on desktop and easy of use...

And its so easy to FORGET M$ IMO... they don't have the best business model, they have the OLD business model... and is very easy to make money out of desktop OSS, but that is not by selling a box full of SW in CD/DVDs... use *open source* instead to compile from online in end users machines... ppl don't want a particular distro, they want their own distro, which a quick glance at "distrowatch" can make clear as water, because they don't count the star number of personalized distros... sell end users there own distros... a big shop would appreciate for sure having its logo on the OS they use...

And GPLv3 is an indispensable tool for the job, the best defense so far IMHO.
