Yeah, those folks (M****soft) are really _stupid_, that's no to deny. 
They want to deny the truth about themselves, they want to tell us 
they are someone different that they really are.

On the other hand, they are *forced to* use Open Source -- 
anyway, any M$ operating system is much, much worse than any 
Linux distribution (for professional use, of course).

I don't like them, but I only hope that they are anti-patent, or even if 
not, then they may be moved to the anti-patent position. It'd be 
really good for us all. 

Yours in Liberty,
