It seems this was an overly optimistic assumption about this audience...

Not really. They just utterly, totally failed to think about what "press-release" word means! When I see press-release I immediately forget all I know about FSF and their "choir". Press-release is press-release. It's aimed to new users. To the press. Who don't know anything about TPM, DRM and other evil things.If it's not understandable by press - it's a failure. If it's not understandable after site visiting - it's double failure. If after visiting of the site you get the wrong impression - it's triple failure.

No wonder people are angry: I've not seen such bungles for a very long time...

Also, if you can find the FSF saying that a 2GB RAM requirement is an attack on freedom then I will buy you a pony.

It was in first link with any facts: 25 Shortcomings Of Vista. Among these "25 Shortcomings" are
Memory: Vista loves RAM, but more is better. Plan on 2 Gbytes to meet real-world needs.
Storage Space: With Vista taking as much as 10 Gbytes of hard drive space, big and fast hard drives will be a must.
WordPad: Ability to open .doc files has been removed.
And so on. TPM is not mentioned, DRM is also not in list. Count me "not impressed", Ok ?
