content: I'm glad that almost every time Microsoft pulls this kind of shit, there are comments online recommending Linux.  Linux may not have that much desktop marketshare, but it's mindshare is growing fast.  It's only a matter of time before a critical mass of desktops (say 10%) are Linux and then it will grow like crazy.  When it's still in the 1-2% range then not many people have a linux user in their circle of close friends or family.  Once it hits 10% or so, everyone will know someone who knows Linux.
