Over the last few years I've heard many non-IT people level the types of 
criticism at MS that only a hardcore OSS geek would have done 10 years 
ago.  Many "average users" have become disgruntled and have been looking 
for alternatives.  I expect this trend to accerate with DRM as the true 
ramifications become apparent.

Cheers,

Rob
