You aren't forced to do business with Microsoft, and neither are your clients. I've bought a single Windows XP license in the past 7 years, and I've installed it on my virtual machine, mostly for testing my apps before deploying to Windows. I suppose I'll eventually need to purchase a Vista license to test-deploy there, too, but I'm certainly not forced to use Windows as my main system. I only start the Windows VM when needed for testing or VFP work. I use alternative operating systems for everything else. I go weeks without starting the Windows VM sometimes. If you really want your clients to get off of Windows, then stop deploying Windows-only applications! Stop locking people in to a crappy platform!
