That's great that you think that. What I think is that just because he said it well, does not mean it's true. The only way I could think to justify a statement like that is with a gross over-simplification, which includes in part pretending that corporations aren't run by people.

But then again, ignoring reality in favor of pretending statements like that OSS is the solution to all problems, that Windows is the worst piece of software ever written, and that all corporations are huge evil entities out to get us, has never been a problem on slashdot, has it?
