I am a card-carrying member of the Free Software Foundation (and that card is bootable), and I am getting a little worried how they spend their resources. Every time Microsoft comes out with a new version of their operating system there is a new campaign against it. Is this really the important battle anymore?

Windows works on hardware that is available in the form of standardized components, which you can combine in many different ways to fit your needs and obtain from many different vendors at competitive pricing. The existence of this ecosystem is to a large part a direct consequence of the success of Microsoft's business model.

If you feel like it, you can replace (or augment) the Windows installation on your computer with an open-source operating system. But even if you don't, you can run (and create) any kind of software you want, open-source or otherwise, on top of either operating system. And you can directly access, copy and modify all of data files that you create with them.

Contrast this to Steve Job's reimagination of the personal computer in the form of the iPad. You can only install application through Apple's App Store, from which the company quite often bans programs for reasons that not everyone agrees with. It is unlikely that iPad users will ever be able to use software written with Flash or Java technology, even though the device is clearly capable of doing so. It seem impossible that another company could offer an improved (or just different) iPad-compatible tablet computer. Content providers will be offering digital downloads of books, magazines, news feeds, just like they already do for music and movies, and this will most probably come with DRM to make it impossible to consume your purchased media on devices made by a competing brand, and in addition potentially reduce the quality of information that will be available free of charge on the open Internet.

I have little doubt that the iPad will be a very successful product, and define a new category, just like the iPhone and the iPod before it. Maybe not in its first iteration, but definitely within the next two years, and especially when it reaches the point where it can operate without the need for a (traditional) PC to sync with. Thus, the iPad will have a much bigger impact on computer users' freedom and ability to control their devices and data than anything Microsoft is doing at this point.

Of course, I'll buy one as soon as it reaches generation three. Let's just stop pointing fingers at Microsoft, and worry about the next wave of scary monopolies (not just Apple, by the way, Google and Facebook also need to be watched).

Update: I just noticed that a section of the FSF's Defective by Design campaign against DRM is indeed aimed at the iBad.
