Comic Transcript

JIM WASHINGTON: Ubersoft shocked the computing world when it announced that it would begin to acknowledge “Open Source” software as a legitimate computing trend and attempt to be more open to that community.

(ALICE is on the viewscreen. Beneath ALICE are the words “UBERSOFT SPOKESPERSON”)

ALICE: Open Source has been around for some time, and it’s not going away. It’s time we recognized that it is a legitimate trend in software development.

ALICE: That is to say it’s a legitimate choice. Well, it’s one choice out of many. A possible choice.

ALICE: it’s possible to choose it if you’re not interested in the mainstream. It’s an alternative. An alternative choice.

ALICE: Of course, most companies aren’t using it right now, so for them it’s an alternative choice down the road. An alternate future if you will.

ALICE: A dystopian future! Linux is evil! Buy Ubersoft!
