Microsoft Spams Spanish IRC Network

/join #unix

What the hell, Microsoft? You can’t get enough money off of the English speaking population that don’t know any better, now you have to go after Spanish speaking people that don’t know any better? Quit spamming IRC you losers.
So microsoft with their infinite billions are going to put a bot on some random unix irc channel in hopes of possibly converting 1 person to windows? get real.
Right, do you really think that bot is owned by microsoft? It’s probably just some microsoft-zealot that fears linux or so.
