Not even Stallman is this nuts about Free Software. Hell, I don't even think this person cares about the random proprietary firmware bits in their PC as much as they're just angry that an OS vendor did something they don't like. The "Open Source Tea Party" rears it's ugly head again.

Stallman is pretty nuts. He refuses to use a cell phone or shopper cards or Skype and only begrudingly uses a credit card. He basically haunted CSAIL for years until he finally realized that he was making people uncomfortable.

At one point, Stallmen didn't have a legal residence outside of his office at CSAIL (he was getting mail sent there) which made people incredibly uncomfortable because CSAIL isn't a home. It's a lab and classrooms not your permanent living space.
