I think I look at this more optimistically than other people. Sure Microsoft offering a media package so moonlight can play proprietary codecs... is not a bad thing. Because not only will it then be able to play them but it will also be able to play open codecs. Which IMO is more free than flash which won't just play any codec. The only ways then microsoft could hurt moonlight is by not offering codecs once silverlight became mainstream... but then moonlight could simply use open codecs.
couldn't it just be that microsoft , like adobe... is just trying to create this to sell the tools around it? By building the best tools?
Say there were no conspiracies. Say the people who thought the government is corrupt was wrong. Isn't it better to have government run by people who fear government power over any other fear? Personally I think people who believe in terrorism are Nut cases. You have palestinians throwing rocks at tanks and blowing themselves up. That isn't terrorism , but the only tactic they have at their disposal. The other kind of terrorism is state sponsored terrorism by governments and that is what you should be afraid of.
I think here technically they are a combination. The liberal part of left wings... like being able to do drugs.. the strict separation of religion from your political objectives... not discriminating against gays.. etc.. is libertarian
The right wing.. or what used to be right wing concept of conservative smaller government... the government should not be the provider.. is a right wing concept.
I think libertarians take the best from both worlds.

Nice one... exactly what I tried to say but better. Propaganda appeals to those who think emotionally... and propaganda controls the masses
