A MS engendrou um programa de "incentivo" para integradores que denunciassem
clientes que comprassem PCs sem sistema operacional.
Apesar de a MS dizer que era um programa anti-pirataria, para muitos, � uma
tentativa de a MS identificar os que querem instalar Linux.

At the time the program came to light, Microsoft said it instituted the plan
to battle piracy and to clear up confusion with companies who believed they
had site licenses to Microsoft operating systems. No such licenses exist,
according to the company. However, the plan was also widely seen as an attempt
to single out customers who wanted to install Linux on their PCs and not pay
for a Microsoft operating system they would not use.
Despite early indications that the information collected would be shared with law
enforcement agencies,
no such sharing ever took place, the story quotes Pilla as saying.
