Cute.  Wrong, but cute.  Hint: MS has been trying for years to deal with
the piracy problem, whereas Linux vendors aren't; in most cases, they're
actually giving it away.  Kind of hard to pirate something that's free in
the first place... and why would MS have such an issue with piracy if, as
you say, Windows users are all affluent paying clientele?

Oh, right, because what you're saying is complete and utter balderdash.
