[senseless stuff about microsoft snipped]

Um. Call me silly here, but I don't think this has anything to do with
Microsoft. I do notice that there's a lot of anti-MS stuff on the linux
advocacy groups, but come on people, the point of Linux and FreeBSD is
to build a GOOD operating system. It's not to fight Microsoft. It's not
to be free. It's to build an operating system that doesn't suck. Including
MS in this somehow infers that MS actually is a threat to Linux/FreeBSD.
It isn't.
