The BadVista campaign is NOT a campaign against Microsoft Windows. It's what it says, against Vista specifically, because of unpleasant features which are in Vista and not in other versions of Windows.
The FSF is not the only group which doesn't like Vista. Bruce Schneier, the respected expert on computer security, has also pointed out that Vista contains features designed to allow the big media companies more control over what you do - at the cost of making your computer less reliable, less secure, less stable, and slower.

These are NOT just matters that only extreme software-freedom advocates are concerned about.
