If someone said: Let's remove Microsoft software from planet Earth right now. What would the reaction be? I bet that even though Microsoft has been terribly harmfull to their freedoms, most would be in favour of NOT removing Microsoft software. There are Free alternatives, why 'recommend' a non Free? Promoting non Free software to do some job when there are Free alternatives seems ethically wrong and is horrible advertising.
