Posted in Action, Boycott Novell, Free/Libre Software, FSF, GNU/Linux, Vista at 6:55 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz
The raison d’être is this Web site is to encourage Novell to retract its deal. Failing that, the site aims to discourage people from supporting Novell by buying its products. One of the earliest pages to appear here posed the question: Are boycotts effective at all? Boycotts can indeed be effective and no-one proves this better than the Free Software Foundation.

BadVista is the latest in a series of activist campaigns launched by the Free Software Foundation (FSF) in the last eight months. It follows the highly successful Defective By Design campaign against so-called Digital Rights Management (DRM) technologies, and an unnamed effort to encourage the activist media to make free software part of their agenda.
More details on this latest campaign can be found in a large number of Web sites. Clearly, this protest has made the impact it had hoped for.
