The point of non free software is to keep secrets from the users so that obedience of one kind or another is extracted. All non free software is just an owner away from being utter crap and all of it is more or less abusive. There may be better and worse software owners but free software will always be better.

Well, it’s bizarre that the M$ shill on ComputerWorld still tries to equate M$ with all proprietary software.

However, it's out there and much of it, aside from being closed source, is not complete crap. One of the risks of trying to equate M$ with all proprietary software is that it disparages the quality of fairly decent software.
