"Truth" doesn't matter. "Perspective" does. By playing on the emotions of the general public (who happen NOT to be very knowledgeable about open source, free software, and technology in general), they hope to change the popular perspective to favor their position.
You people are confused. You are intellectuals. You make statements for the sake of being "right," which is what will help you gain social acceptance. Microsoft is a business. Businesses will say anything they think will make the suckers buy their products.
