I'm not convinced that putting Winduhs down is the right way to go about promoting freedom and/or free software. What does the list think?
Instead of harping on Winduhs' weaknesses, maybe we should be talking about how it takes freedom away and entraps users. I don't know if this ha already been posted to this list, but the definitive analysis of Fistula's various DRM capabilities and their impact on the end user is available at:

While we need to stress on freedom, it may sometimes become necessary to tell users of M$ Windows about the problems with their system too. In that sense, it may be useful to know about the strengths and weaknesses (or features) of other non-free OSes. In that sense, it may be useful to know such things. The link you have sent is also very useful.
