It's Windows vs. Windows as Microsoft battles piracy: "the company plans to require computer owners to verify that their copy of Windows is properly licensed before allowing them to download software from Microsoft's site. "
No big surprise here, and anyone who decides to convert to Linux or another O/S because of this is probably running a pirated version of Windows. And they probably would have switched to Linux anyway.
Now, if only Microsoft would get the idea that if the O/S was a little less expensive, people wouldn't decide to switch. They'd spend the $100 or so to get a legit copy of the software and continue running the O/S they had before.
