Beware the inferences M$ is making here. Basically, a corporation like M$ can release a product called SMS, charge $1000 for it, target its usefulness toward admins and call the entire charade "productivity management software".
Now open source authors can come along and develop something that we can see the source code for, is anti-bloat, but has something of a devious name and does the same thing as SMS. Therefore its intentions are malicious, the program is trojan horse, a virus, blah blah blah.
Never mind that someone with less than good intentions can use either software package to do bad things. I suppose that if you install FreeBSD on a dual-boot computer with its new capability to read NTFS partitions, that is also a "intentional security risk" propagated by the "evil open-source programmers".
