[ale] FSF launches anti-Windows 7 assault

In the early days of Apple I avoided it in favor of DOS because DOS
would run on multiple platforms so Apple was viewed as the "proprietary"
evil.   It amuses me to see how many people on this list now seem to
love Apple simply because it uses a UNIX base OS.  You'd think most
would prefer Linux.

Considering this is the FSF, yes, although assault is a stronger word
than I'd use. After all, RMS isn't the one throwing chairs. ;-) I still
have a hugh number of anti-Apple stickers from
their 'Defective by Design' campaign.

All the best,
