Sure, Fuddie.  You're just using your usual brain-dead, immoral "logic" 
to again attack Linux advocates, like they are "hypocrites" for 
complaining about Micro$oft attempts to discredit Linux, while 
simultaneously "discrediting" Windows.  But you see, Fuddie, that's your 
dishonest choice of words, implying that "the same thing" is happening on 
both sides.

Advocates of fairness and freedom point-out the advantages of OSS and the 
disadvantages of Windows and of the Micro$oft hegemony.  They seek 
*choice*.

Micro$oft, on the other hand, uses FUD, bribery, secrecy, and other 
unethical tactics, in order to prevent freedom and choice.  They seek to 
*monopolize*.

These are NOT the same things!  One is moral and ethical, the other is 
NOT.
