Why would a corporation care about hobbyists? Sounds like just a bunch of people poking fun at MS for a stupid reason, but then again that wouldn't be a surprise.
Yeah, since when has Microsoft cared about you or any of you? You promote them, and you're the kind of people they're trying to lock out.
That sounds like a confusing relationship. Like a lost puppy you don't want that will do anything for you.
But the problem is that it's beyond not caring: they're trying to discourage you, not just ignore you. That's even worse!
And by the way, on the same thing (DRM),
Torvalds said (about Linux), "I _literally_ feel that we do not - as software developers - have the moral right to enforce our rules on hardware manufacturers. We are not crusaders, trying to force people to bow to our superior God. We are trying to show others that co-operation and openness works better.'"
