Story: Linux PCs 'used to run pirated Windows'

A severely biased study from Gartner... Microsoft's strategy is to try to associate Linux with piracy again and again... What about those who are dumping OEM Windows boxes to run Linux? I have several machines with a Windows license sticker outside and Knoppix installed inside. This study seems to be based around old myths and realities about Linux.

Those who use Knoppix today know that Micorsoft will lose the war - this is a war for freedom and Linux is now beating Microsoft at the desktop also, because their business is not true software: it's licenses and dirty marketing against the penguin. We don't just want a better operating system: we want freedom to learn, privacy, and sharing legal intelectual property. That's why Microsoft will lose.
