Ah yes, MacCormack's infamous, Microsoft sponsored, anti-GPL "study"

No, Rufus really is a Microsoft apologist. In fact he's probably an
employee.

And right now, I'd say that it's *Microsoft* and their supporters who
are feeling insecure and paranoid, with good reason. They can feel the
dictatorship slipping away.
