As Windows Vista begins rolling out to business customers, the Free Software Foundation has launched a website devoted to taking Microsoft's latest operating system down a peg.
The "Bad Vista" site promises to expose the ways Vista imposes more controls on users via anti-piracy measures, content copy protection and other new technologies - aspects that have already raised concerns in the industry.
"Whilst Microsoft embarks upon its largest-ever product launch, its marketing dollars will be spent in an effort to fool the media and user community about the goals of Vista," said FSF executive director Peter Brown on the site. "We aim to demonstrate that technologists can be social activists, because we know the harm that Vista will cause."
