Microsoft will drive Linux desktop adoption in 2007
,----[ Quote ]
| Since the users are not paying Microsoft for products or services,
| there is no financial downside for Redmond. However, there is a
| risk if enterprise-level customers move outright to another platform,
| Gillen said.
|
| "[Microsoft] is not hurting the installed base, but they are likely
| to increase competitive installation instances when they cause a user
| to move off of a non-paid copy of Windows and the user winds up on
| Linux," he said.
