No one with any brains does, but South America, including Brazil, has been
giving the US and its 'corporate citizens' the middle finger of late, esp when
the people make it very clear to the pols that they're sick of the way things
have been going these past few decades under the dictates of their relationship
with Western institutions like the IMF and World Bank (if you call *pimping* an
economic relationship).

Brazil is one of the world's fastest growing economies. Where they go in terms
of F/OSS or Microshaft is of great concern.

Between Brazil and China, MS stands to lose access to billions of dollars in
revenue, hence their intense interest in these regions, and that goes for a lot
of other grifters, er, I mean corporations and their government lackeys.
