According to a leak from a BestBuy employee, Microsoft is initiating a sort of "Anti-Linux Training" course for the employees, and those who take part in the said training are rewarded with a copy of Windows 7 for only ten dollars. The leaked screenshots of the campaign show Microsoft's comparison of its own system with an obscure "Linux" and how Windows is better in every way including security, "free downloads", and software and hardware compatibility.

If that's so, their goal is pointless. Who cares if there are tons of Free software if no one wants to use it.
So again, instead of throwing poo at various people and products they don't like, they should focus on their own back yard.
Most people do not care that Proprietary is "evil". All they care is whether the program gets the job done or not and whether it's easy to use and stable or not.

And how would that exactly help them to reach their goal? Their goal is not market penetration or world domination, their primary goal is just to get as many free software as possible. Any proprietary software doesn't help them, even if it's "theirs".
