While the focus is Linux, it had some interesting on topic points on MSFT,
especially the following:

"What good will this do any of the rest of us? The biggest benefit to
everyone is that it will force Microsoft to compete instead of coasting on
the backs of various cash elephants. This is good news for users, if not
for the Microsoft billionaire who may have to do some work for a living
instead of traveling around the world giving speeches. Oh no!"

  "The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic State itself.   That in it's essence, is Fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any controlling private power." Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Message proposing the Monopoly Investigation, 1938
