@Halfmad - Re: @Streaky First it's optional...
You're largely underestimating the capacity of enterprises and consumers to endure Microsoft abusive conduct. All these people had decades to move to Linux and they didn't. Even Munich succumbed to MS pressure and now the're moving back in line with the others.
Please understand that all those who could and who wanted to move to Linux have done it a long time ago. For those remaining with Windows, nothing can possibly determine them to switch. Even you in your post are saying that you would be on Linux not that you've moved to it.
