You, the reader, are hereby invited to participate in a celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) on August 28th this year. On that day we will stage public events to inform the general public about the virtues of FOSS. We invite you to form local teams and set up tables in town centers, shopping malls, or wherever there are likely to be lots of people on a Saturday.

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?
No, the reason his article is funny is that claims have traditionally been made that FOSS is communism/bad-for-the-economy/un-american, which is clearly nonsense. He turns the discussion on its head by pointing out that the big monopolies are closer to communism with their central planning and control.
