    We need to be the one in control of our computing for it to be ‘our’ computer, instead of Microsoft. That requires being able to change what it does via the source code, and sharing those changes with others. Windows is proprietary, no source code and it’s illegal to share it - it can never be ‘your’ computer like that.

      The software that facilitates the use of your device must be agnostic.
