"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."

KDE and Gnome and many packages which can do what Vista can.
With Vista Microsoft has managed to pretty much be on par with Gnome/KDE and Mac OS X.
The difference is that Gnome/KDE and Mac OS X can run with much fewer system resources than Vista - and still look good.
