LaughStock: BadVista.org a joke?

December 26, 2006 | 2:59 pm

Maybe, BadVista.org is a joke?

Let us see. They link to gNewSense and utotu as the Linux Alternatives to Vista.

But, there’s something wrong with utotu.org. First up, you get a security warning about the SSL certificate being from an unknown authority. Why the heck do you need SSL for a homepage?

But, it gets funnier. The site is actually in Spanish! I mean, huh? I guess maybe you need to know Spanish to be pure and free? And, maybe utotu means something funny in some other language?

And gNewSense. Say that fast five times, and you end up say Gee-Nu-Sense. That is Gee, Nuisance!

If this set was a joke(I sincerely wish it is. I respect Linu(x|s)), then it’s a particularly elaborate and well executed one. Kudos!

Asa Dotzler too thinks this is a joke, but the commentators on that post don’t think so. What’s this world coming to?

Update:

Seems like they published the scripts they used to make Ubuntu into the gNewSense. Funny how it requires 35GB of free space. Now, the only thing that we need to show that this was a joke is an official announcement from somewhere…
