I think it goes beyond the piracy issue. Many users still find Windows the easiest OS to use. Same with the applications running on Windows, it's damn easy to use. They don't mind the viruses, security issues and piracy. They just want something working for their needs and don't have to bother learning another complicated tool.
This is the challenge to all local Linux users, and perhaps the global Linux community. How can we make an ordinary Windows user appreciate Linux? How can we convince a corporation or governemnt agency to use Linux provided that they need a solid group or company that can provide them consultation and tecnical assistance?
