"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."

OK. No problem. To be honest, I was going to reply to Thom's message earlier, but I couldn't find the spelling of your name... and I wasn't sure of it, and didn't want to misspell it, so I held off! ;-)
It is a bit of a difficult spelling. I almost got it right with "Moulineuf". Just missing one "n".
Anyway, I've glanced back on your posting history, out of curiosity, and I frankly don't understand why you are so maligned by some.
I'm more OSS than FS, so your views are probably more aligned with the FSF philosophy than are mine. But you seem civil and make good points.
Adding you as "Friend" in my account config. :-)
