Thing is, reality is not a movie. Rarely do the well-intentioned, rag-tag band of rebels overthrow the evil world government and usher in a new era of freedom and prosperity.
You're right, but it does happen every now and then...
- The Indian Independence movement
- The French revolution
- Mao and The Peoples Republic of China (freedom and prosperity may not apply here, but it was an improvement, no?)
So thar.

That was a strangely non-evil thing for Microsoft to do. My world is shifting.
Not so strange, it's just step 3 in their "How to fix our public image and steal back clients from Google" strategy.
1. Announce we love Open Source.
2. Help with some Linux bug fixes.
3. Fight some anti democracy thingy in Russia or China.
4. Get massive press coverage from 1, 2 and 3.
5. ???
