In a lot of developing countries, 90% of windows are private versions. In these countries, most people don't care about linux at all.
They will when the Business Software Alliance comes knocking at their door to take a software inventory and insure they're not pirating their software.
And the local government will go along/support such...inventories...because they want to be seen as being "good IP stewards" and shown in a favorable light in the hallowed halls of the WTO.
