MS will never put up a 'public' campaign saying that non MS soft should be
ignored. They do know that that will have exactly the opposite effect.
Right. Which is why it would make sense to shake down the OEMs under the
guise of an anti-piracy campaign and make sure that they are only selling
MS software, with full payment to MS. Any shop selling computers, but not
'enough' copies of MSO are likely to be targeted. My point would be that
it's easier to get in with the OEMs before MS has a chance to shut the
door again. Same goes for any advertising.
Very good point about needing a marketing strategy here. I believe there
is a wiki page started on that ;)
