#8 Windows and OS X are malware, claims Richard Stallman

Stallman is a riot. It's good of him to hold down the loony-left end of the techno-political spectrum.
Of course, strictly speaking, he's absolutely correct about the OSes, and the smart TVs and all that. What he says -- insofar as he's describing the actual devices and software -- is essentially accurate.
OTOH, his prescriptions for what to do about it are nonsense in a practical, real world.
Idealism comes at a steep price. The rest of us gotta get stuff done and we accept the flaws of our tools.
He deserves our thanks for the great technical work he's done for many decades.
But I wish he would STFU about the politics.
