It's one facet of a wider campaign to promote free software (the FSF). Just
like we have separate campaigns for individual free software issues, like Free
BIOS for example, we have this separate campaign to target Microsoft Vista. Of
course if anyone asks we always say that almost all of our objections to Vista
apply to other proprietary software too.

"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."
    --Bruce Schneier, "DRM in Windows Vista"
