"The FSF today launched a campaign with a twofold mission of exposing the harms inflicted on computer users by the new Microsoft Windows Vista and promoting free software alternatives that respect users' security and privacy rights. "Vista is an upsell masquerading as an upgrade. It is an overall regression when you look at the most important aspect of owning and using a computer: your control over what it does. Obviously MS Windows is already proprietary and very restrictive, and well worth rejecting. But the new 'features' in Vista are a Trojan Horse to smuggle in even more restrictions. We'll be focusing attention on detailing how they work, how to resist them, and why people should care", said FSF program administrator John Sullivan."

I ought to have made clear that I meant "he declined to give any evidence".
Ballmer explained why every little patent isn't listed in cross-licensing agreements. You don't believe anything he ever says, so of course you didn't take it at face value.
I posted a search url that shows how many cross-licensing agreements Microsoft enters into. Microsoft has been sued enough times for me to believe that it is signing those agreements to avoid being sued more times.
