In a lot of developing countries, 90% of windows are private versions. In these countries, most people don't care about linux at all. Beacuse Windows is already dominant OS there or in the furture.
Even when people in these country want to buy legal copy of software, they only choose to buy thoses with familar Microsoft windows interface. They won't consider other alternatives. Linux is no any advantage there, since microsoft windows is considered as free also.
overly optimistic
