I always thought that free software was about writing software that does what you want it to do, software that is owned and controlled by users. I don't see any reason to 'beat' Microsoft, or bringing anything to the masses (what the hell are masses, anyway?) I don't care what Microsoft does, and I don't care what the Sixpack's use, as long as I myself don't have to deal with it.
