"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."

//Microsoft real intentions are to sell Office to their customers. They have an obligation to their shareholders by law to do so.
The FSF's real intentions are to attack Microsoft at the behest of their large supporters like IBM who use the FSF and FOSS as a proxy to weaken Microsoft.//
Hardly.
It is Microsoft that does all the attacking against other software.
That is an extremely well documented fact.
