Another perspective - doesn't Microsoft *already* EFFECTIVELY give away 
its desktop environment?  The vast majority of new shipments of Windows 
are OEM installs.  Microsoft charges peanuts for these (compared to a 
retail copy), and as far as the end user can see, they're getting the OS 
for free along with their new computer.  Tell them they can install 
Linux for free instead (or as well), and they'll respond with 'Why 
should I bother with that hassle when Windows is working happily?'
