RE[7]: Don't bother, Microsoft

in reply to "RE[6]: Don't bother, Microsoft"
The person I replied to explicitly said "every single pirated copy".
That's because every single pirated copy does help to prop up Microsoft. Dual-boot or not, you are still using it and thus propping them up, yes? You are still not fully converted to an alternate platform and therefore have Windows around, right?
The reason is irrelevant. If you have a need for Windows at all and you pirate it, you are one less user who has converted fully over to an alternate platform and hense help to keep Microsoft in the top position.
