Back when the US was prosecuting Microsoft for monopolistic practices US Gov. requirements were that contractors, suppliers and agencies were to use some flavor of Unix. Unfortunately after that episode was finished all was forgiven. On top of that I'd bet just about every country in the world is using Windows, and 90% of all commercial enterprises world wide as well. Microsoft created the original hooks used by most spywear for similar purposes (and now gives away band aids to while not really fixing the problems). They are truly an evil organization. Microsoft proves that over and over again. Unfortunately being evil by itself isn't against the law.
