This is in the opposition category
This is in the opposition category which is described in the submission page as "opposition to free software - fud, opponents in the media, negative reviews of free software, negative reviews of opponents, etc."
This article is a negative review of the biggest opponent to free software and the icon of proprietary software: Microsoft.
To be honest, I was a bit unsure of this one. So, rather than discarding it, I waited to see if anyone would vote it/bury it/report it. It got 10 more votes without any complaints and so I deem it relevant enough to the community to let it stay published. Feel free to bury it if you don't like it.
