Linux wins, but Microsoft rules (CIOL)

CIOL (India) has an article about desktop Linux sales as a cover for use of pirated Microsoft products. "CNS investigation reveals that many a customer, who found the Linux-based machines attractive because of the price factor felt that it was not the same as a Microsoft loaded PC. So they did the next best thing and bought pirated copies of Microsoft software. While none of the vendors were willing to go on record, most of them said that they have long suspected such actions." This is the second article on this theme in a week now; coincidence?
