[Cisl-comunidade] Recente FUD da MS sobre privacidade, segurança, custos e governos

[Andre Felipe Machado]

Para quem acreditava nas boas intenções da MS, alguns trechos:

“In the Mopping Up phase, Evangelism’s goal is to 
put the final nail into the competing technology’s coffin, and bury it 
in the burning depths of the earth. Ideally, use of the competing 
technology becomes associated with mental deficiency…”

                                –James Plamondon, Microsoft 


It’s not even journalism, it’s just a Microsoft comedy, dismissing every concern about privacy in Vista 10 and using derogatory labels like “tinfoil hats”
 (much like the author did “Linux fanatics” before). The piece was 
translated to other languages and further disseminated by the CBS-owned 
ZDNet for maximum impact, masquerading as “opinion” because it’s not at 
all objective and it is not journalism. 


“But equally how would you convince a public sector organisation to 
migrate to your cloud services instead of using ‘expensive’ open source 
software?
“The obvious way would be to present a case study from a similar 
organisation together with a well written report commissioned to an 
“independent” consultancy firm. At this point your future customer has 
all the data and justifications required to sign on the dotted line.

"Offering massive discounts to manufacture false stories and change 
perception is no better than bribery. When a proprietary software giant 
(like Oracle or Microsoft) says “deliver savings to taxpayers” it means 
give shackles/lock-in with discount. The British government likes to 
make dumb statements like these every now and then, whenever it chooses 
to stay a slave of unbelievably greedy corporations with shoddy 
‘products’ that the government has zero control over, proprietary 
software which is foreign too (with security flaws and national 
security-threatening back doors)."

Privacidade e segurança de dados governamentais e os de cidadãos sob a responsabilidade de entidades governamentais é algo que deveria ser inegociável.

Controle do próprio futuro tecnológico e independência de fornecedores também deveria ser um valor de Estado.

As Lou Gerstner, former Chairman 
and CEO of IBM, observed: 'I came to see, in my time at IBM that culture
 isn’t just one aspect of the game; it *IS* the game.'
