I don't think it was mentioned in the last dialog, that only the ones that "want" will be freed, it was simply "all" of them (with no exeptions)
I saw the new Matrix more like a world for the programs "without purpose", did you see how artifical everything looked and how empty? No people anywhere, just the few renegades that survived so far and they can do whatever they want, not being squeezed into an equation (notice that the architect is out of a job?)
About Smith getting inside a human or Neo being outside of his body. That is what this whole thing was about: Neo was able to upload himself into the Matrix (computer) and the virus downloaded himself into a human brain. That is the reason why Neo can take on the machines, a part of his programming is still in the computer (like the Seti@home system -> plot loophole though, because he needs some kind of link between the seperate code parts)
So there is actually now no difference between the machines and the humans anymore, they both exist without purpose and just from choice to choice, just the shell is different.
Apropos shell: What about the train station. Ever heard of a bus inside a computer? All the movies where full of a parallels to computers: shell, bus, source, buffer, oracle as cache controller, architect as CPU ... It just makes sense to have a train station. How does data get out of your computer? Through a bus (USB, FireWire, IDE, ATA or whatever but some 'driver' will have to control it) ....
Well enough of this mindless drivel already, I need to get some sleep.
