Likewise, I think it is important to talk about "free software" rather than
"open source" for our purposes.
http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html is a good
article about this, with the basic point being that we are urging people to
reject Vista specifically because of the ways in which it takes away their
freedoms.

"Microsoft put all those functionality-crippling features into Vista because it
wants to own the entertainment industry. This isn't how Microsoft spins it, of
course. It maintains that it has no choice...It's all complete nonsense."
