This comparison is still inadequate. Even if you could overlook something so horrendous as the killing the Nazis were a small subversive part of the population that assumed power outside of popular elections, largely by intimidation. They assumed they had a right to take over much of the free world and totally control the lives of those they considered lesser beings. To this end they had Joseph Gerbels and his ministry of propaganda in control of all information as a central part of their control. If one could discount the killing then Microsoft resembles the Nazis and Enderle a Gerbels wannabe.
If Linux and FLOSS supporters have any parallel here they would be more like the French underground, trying to unseat their invading masters who are trying to cement their Orwellian control of all information access.
What you can always count on from a liar is they will always project their evil onto others, but the evil they proclaim is being done by their adversaries is what is coming in fact from them. People tend to stick to what they know.
