I don't understand the purpose of "hiding" an onganisation from Microsoft. Merely hold your chin up and say "no, thank you" when Microsoft comes calling.

No matter what incentives they offer you, in the end you still have the same technical issues. You have an operating system that's in constant need of patches and fixes and always under attack by some virus of the month.

I've made a personal decision to try Linux because I want to use my computer for something other than fixing Windows and figthing viruses.
