Won't stop it from being true though.  Didn't you ever hear about the
Streisand Effect?  Its an Internet phenomenon where an attempt to
censor or remove a piece of information backfires, causing the
information to be widely publicized.  Of course, this particular genie
has already been released.  Everyone knows Micro$oft is likened to
Mordor and Steve Balmer is its Sauron.

One OS to rule them all, one OS to find them, and in the darkness bind
them with restrictive licensing.  :-D
