    It is worth remembering that.
    Google is exploiting the free software not "really" supporting it. What did Google do for Linux users? For free software? They are only using great open source programs to make their capital more. Yes Google you are evil!

    Troll?

    What about the Google Summer of Code: https://code.google.com/soc/
    And all the software they release as open-source like chromium and android?
    Are they exploiting Free software more than all the people who use Free software, but don't pay/donate/develop/etc for it?

    As Stallman says: "Google does things which are good, things which are neutral, and things which are bad."

    Don't be so manichaean.

    Oh no people are so prejudiced. You labeled me as a troll instantly which i have never been. What i am trying to say is Google bases almost all of its programs on open source. Makes millions of dollars from them. But what i gives is very very little. Plus Linux support in Google programs are either missing or poor.

    Not until someone gets the protocol specifications from Skype or should I say Microsoft.

    They don't?? I'm not trying to be a fanboy here, but I literally can't think of a single instance where I've found their Linux support lacking. Oh, except for Google Desktop for some reason, but I never cared much about that, though I guess it counts.

    Not supporting Linux is one thing, but making it an .exe that only supports Windows is silly at this point. I suspect there is a good chunk of people who do not access their social networking through Windows any more -- OSX, iOS, and Android ought not be sneezed at, and more are (potentially coming): webOS, WindowsPhone (which is *not* Windows), ChromeOS, etc.


    This just seems like a dangerous time to develop platform-specific technology on the web. But whatever.

    So that means that Mac users are in the same boat as Linux users...
