[CS-FSLUG] Could recent Microsoft clamp-downs, missteps accelerate Linux adoption?

[Fred A. Miller]

"Is it me, or has there been a recent wave of headlines from Redmond that add 
up to a Microsoft clamp-down of the sort that could easily drive people away 
from destkop Windows? The most recent of these--and drawing a heated reaction 
from some ZDNet readers--is a report that Microsoft will start requiring XP 
Service Pack 2 for Automatic Update users. Also last week, Microsoft 
announced that it would no longer support product activation over the 
Internet for PCs that have Windows pre-installed. Is Microsoft driving you 
away?"
