We can't tell people what to do, but we hope for their sake that they discard those soon . How about adding this text: (If you're using Windows or MacOS, we hope, for your freedom's sake, that you are making arrangements to cease using it soon. See https://gnu.org/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html and https://gnu.org/malware/.) This way, people won't assume that the GNU Project shares the usual attitude that which operating system to use is a purely practical question. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
