I don't believe it. It makes for a great scare, but it essentially hands over 
control of that part of the user base to Linux. I don't feel that Redmond would 
ever want to hand over control like that. I would gladly turf windows if forced 
by WGA to do so, and I know they don't want anyone to. That would break the 
illusion they have created that Windoze is the only viable operating system 
going.

Also, think of all the tech support possibilities!
