"You are very strongly urged to install Linux on your home PC, if you 
don’t already have it there."


It's from the syllabus of an old computer science course.

"Work on Minority Issues:

Professor Matloff lived in an ethnically-mixed East Los Angeles 
neighborhood during his early childhood, helping to shape his lifelong 
support for affirmative action and activism in improving conditions for 
people of color in general and the impoverished, as well as improving 
the status of women. Starting with his work in high school in the 
election campaign of a black woman (Myrlie Evers), his quest for social 
justice has been a major driving force in his life.

He writes frequently about these issues, such as his support of 
affirmative action, his exposure of age discrimination and abuse of 
foreign worker visa programs in the tech industry, and his defense of 
immigrant Asian-American scientists who have been discriminated against 
in our national laboratories (Los Alamos and NASA). Prof. Matloff has 
been a recipient of the UC Davis Distinguished Public Service Award, in 
recognition of his work in these and other areas.

Dr. Matloff brings these ideas into his teaching as well. His department 
has its own ethics course, ECS 188, which he has taught several times. 
His reading list and assigned term paper reflect this."


If I poke around I'm sure I can find some anti-MS\Windows whining from 
this academic.
