This isn't an ad. for Bill, so please read on..

FWIW, recent browsing of Microsoft show they have a "public comment"
page:

http://www.microsoft.com/freedomtoinnovate/

I'd encourage all FreeBSD users to send both Microsoft and their local
Congressperson their opinions on Microsoft (i.e. it's a huge monopoly,
uses agressive tactics to prevent competition which is what's needed for
true innovation).  You will need to "register" with them before you can
send the email and in doing so, I'd encourage you to supply real details
rather than false ones so that it's harder for them to dismiss `negative'
comments.

I'm sure they're gathering quite a few positive comments (who else but
Microsoft users would regularly check out that page ?) so I'm sure some
down to earth real views are also required.

Lets make sure we can use their own vehicle to their disadvantage!!!!

Cheers,
Darren
