Very well said! 

We do want to point out the problems, but always in connection with
freedom--like, "Here is an example of a security problem that Microsoft is
going to take their time to fix, which you or someone else could fix right now
if the source were accessible and legally modifiable and shareable."

"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."
