Bill Thompson has a nice "Broken URL" in the BBC where he claims that the Microsoft model resembles the planned economy of Stalin, while the FOSS model better resembles the free market ;)

So let me guess, is it because he is a journalist he is correct or is it because it tries to put down on Microsoft? If he'd write the opposite, wouldn't you discourage it as "FUD" or "Trolling" or whatever the RMS fan club use as comments.

Howabout start thinking for yourself and making that comparison? Oh I forgot, if people would do that, this movement would already have been dead, just like many sects would never have any place in this world etc etc etc...
