I'm not convinced that putting Winduhs down is the right way to go 
about promoting freedom and/or free software.  What does the list 
think?

Instead of harping on Winduhs' weaknesses, maybe we should be talking 
about how it takes freedom away and entraps users.  I don't know if 
this ha already been posted to this list, but the definitive analysis 
of Fistula's various DRM capabilities and their impact on the end 
user is available at:
