How bloody arrogant. IOW "PCs only really work if you install Windows,
therefore installing Linux is just an excuse for encouraging piracy".
Not a hint that perhaps customers *ask* for Linux because they *want* it
... or even more poignantly *don't* want Windows (Vista in particular),
which is an even more damning indictment against Microsoft (i.e. "give
us *anything* but Vista").

Too right!
I'd hate to live in the mind of your typical corporate Windows drone,
who cannot even conceive of why anyone wouldn't want to use Windows.
Maybe those people should start reading the feedback in their own
forums, and the tide of dissent against Vista in Blogs around the world.
Maybe then they'd understand.
No, actually they wouldn't. They are as much zombies to the cause, as
the millions of Windows nodes on spam Botnets that infect the planet.
