I think the pirates would be better off setting up a penguin store like ThinkPenguin in the US. Nothing wrong with the operating system if people have the support and hardware to go along with it. Microsoft is only "better" because of the availability of support/hardware for the most part. While we high tech people use our computers for more than just email, word processing, and web browsing 90% of the world falls into that segment. Add in digital cameras and you hit 95%. What Americans and certain other English speaking parts of the world are missing is the fact they/we don't see Linux systems everywhere so it seems harder to use than it really is. I'm seeing it more and more though. I'm at a Christmas party and we have more computers here running Linux than Mac and two of the three Linux systems aren't mine. Sure- this is the exception rather than the rule for the USA/East Coast region-but none-the-less things are changing. Now if only the significantly cheaper ARM systems would come out with Linux so we could rid Microsoft from the market again like it was when Netbooks first came out.

Now we begin to see the benefits of real operating system concepts. When the OS is well thought out we can change the machine-specific (processor) layers and we have a OS for a different architecture. Please try that on some piles of trash like MS's.
I so much wait for the new ARM-based tablet machines, with bigger screens than the new Nokia N900 with its linux.
