What are you in favor of?  Windows, or something free such as Linux?  This Wednesday the Free Software Foundation (FSF) will be holding a demonstration in Boston, where they will try to convince businesses to throw out their copies of Windows, in exchange of free software.

The Free Software Foundation believes that businesses using Windows have put a risk on their “privacy, security, and freedom."

The demonstration seems to be more focused on the next version of Windows, 7, to be released October 22, 2009.  FSF Executive Director, Peter Brown, was quoted saying that they are not targeting 7 in general, but more so Microsoft: “Any time Microsoft tries to push them to a new version, it's a good time to make that case," he remarked.

This isn’t just about which operating system has market share, but it’s also about digital rights management.  The FSF wants to prevent these powers from becoming too common in the world.

"That's the kind of power that proprietary software gives to these corporations," said Brown. "When we give that power, sooner or later somebody comes knocking, whether it is the government or the corporations themselves. Free software is kind of the answer to that."

So, if you’re interested, check out the Free Software Foundation’s website. Who knows, maybe you will become a Linux fanatic soon.
