There is nothing wrong with him as a person. However, he isn't a typical end user, and I would expect something more from a professor than a one sided hatchet job against microsoft. He never takes any of the manufacture or third party companies to task, he just keeps hammering on Microsoft.
Further, considering his position in life and his experiences with security, you would think that he would have more of a clue about the legal ramifications of some of the security "features" in Vista, specifically those dealing with content licensing. Blaming Microsoft because Sony chooses not to license material for certain playback formats is just so fucking lame. He might as well blame a duck for the price of foisgras.
The guy started out with the intention of bashing the fuck out of Microsoft, and that is all he did. It is a mean spirited one sides article, and certainly NOT a balanced look at the reality of both modern computer operating systems and the legalities of content distribution.
