This reminds me of Apple's 1984 commercial -- the computer as political statement rather than just utility.

The free software movement is the real deal. But Apple has captured the counterculture image with advertising. When most people think "geek chic" or "computer counterculture" Apple comes to mind, not Linux. It must be pretty galling to the free software people, who know how closed Apple's system is -- and I'm guessing this is partly why Professor Moglen dislikes Apple so much.
