And, lest we forget, Sun develops several of its own technologies for Windows (albeit not exclusively)-- OpenOffice/StarOffice, Java, NetBeans, VirtualBox etc. That would be kind of hard to do if we banned everyone from running Windows... VirtualBox itself can reduce the need to do so, but it's not a panacea.
