Why not stay away from Microsoft

People complain about the evils of Microsoft yet they continue to use its products. There is still no good reason for upgrading to Vista. In fact, in many cases there is nothing to prevent a user to run Linux on his servers or desktops. If a computer store doesn't provide information whether certain hardware is Linux-compatible I go elsewhere. If more did the same, Microsoft would be in no position to utter these threats.
