This is the point I've tried to make to MS folks over and over again with
no success. Given the choice would you rather see 100 million new linux
users or would you rather those 100 million users pirated windows? The
answer I always get is that they want those 100 million users to pay for
windows but they don't seem to understand that isn't the choice.
