Windows costs a fortune off the shelf, so it's unlikely many will switch from GNU/Linux to Windows, but conversions the other way around do happen.

This assumes that most people that would switch from Linux to Windows would use a genuine copy of Windows for that. According to my experience with colleagues and friends, this is quite far from the truth.

Yes, although Microsoft is making it harder for them. All I can say is, please do more activation and WGA, Microsoft!
