Personally I believe that everyone should have a right to decide what they want to do with the software and how to distribute it. My main gripes with M$ in that respect is not so much that it is a shitty software, but more with the fact that they force me to pay for it even if I don't want it or use it (came with my new laptop, and despite junking it as soon as the laptop was turned on, I'm still stuck with paying for it).
