| 277140 | 2004-09-30 11:11:00 | From the same site . . . PCs running Linux are growing in popularity in part because they can be loaded with a pirated copy of Windows, according to a study from analyst Gartner . The consulting firm issued a report on Wednesday stating that about 40 percent of Linux PCs will be modified to run an illegal copy of Windows, a bait-and-switch maneuver that lowers the cost of obtaining a Windows PC . Obviously they are all crack heads . |

| 277143 | 2004-10-01 01:26:00 | Some suggest that MS actually encourage the installation of pirated copies of windows on, so called naked, PC's as a means of capturing more market that might otherwise go elsewhere for their OS needs . For the spin on this rational have a read of This ( . theregister . co . uk/2004/09/29/linux_windows_piracy_cover/" target="_blank">www . theregister . co . uk) . This tactic, if true, does seem to provide definite benefits to MS by nurturing windows methods and ways in lieu of and before the alternatives can take a grip . Cheers Murray P |
