Actually, I think Microsoft is getting a lot of things right recently. This may be my naive mind getting caught up in their clever PR moves but seriously, I would give their stuff a shot if it wasn't so hard to adjust (1) after ten years without Windows in my house. I still remember the whole Internet Explorer bundling antitrust debacle and, while it took about a decade, I believe this is a different Microsoft we're having now. I'm not suggesting they learned something from that from a moral point of view. Better. Consumers are increasingly hostile to monopolizing companies and "extremist" movements like the FSF have their fair share in raising awareness. Microsoft is probably just moving into the openness direction because they have to if they want to keep their customers' business. So, to put an end to my rambling: I can't support the kind of freedom the FSF stands for, but I have to give them credit for (in a small part) forming the public opinion. (1) tiny footnote: I was about to call their products shitty, but I guess "It's not you, it's me". Stuff just feels absolutely foreign to me :(
