The organisation said today it would issue press releases about the Windows 7 Sins campaign in eight languages, with several more on the way."By translating Windows 7 Sins into as many languages as possible, we are making this an international campaign for computer user freedom," said FSF campaign manager Matt Lee.The Windows 7 Sins campaign was first launched last August in the US and was accompanied by rally in Boston.The FSF has outlined seven areas where it claims proprietary software hurts computer users: invading privacy, poisoning education, locking users in, abusin g standards, leveraging monopolistic behavior, enforcing digital restrictions management (DRM), and threatening user security.The campaign makes the case that computer users should not adopt Windows software and should instead adopt free software such as the GNU/Linux operating system and the office productivity suite OpenOffice.org.The FSF was founded in 1985 to promote the use of free software, particularly GNU operating software and its GNU/Linux variants.
