Blogging Ottinger (tim)The Important Thing is Killing Linux, Not Making Money?
At businessweek, Henry Chesbrough thinks that Microsoft should allow and encourage illegal installations (mislabeled “piracy” of course) of Windows until illegal windows use crowds out Linux from the market, and then tighten up the enforcement.
Only after the Linux threat lessens might Microsoft have the luxury of tightening up piracy protections, as it is now doing in the West.
Oh, has the Linux threat lessened here? It seems that rather Windows is being double-teamed by Linux and Mac right now. In addition to these outside threats, Microsoft seems not to be able to encourage its current base of users to upgrade to newer versions.
