The reason why Microsoft paid/bribed/whatever they did to get Nigeria to replace linux with Windows on the laptops is control. The ruling class couldn't have millions of children growing up with and learning an operating system which gives control and freedom to the users. I think Nigeria's future planned by the ruling class is to be one of the labor countries for the aristocracy in the planned one world government/new world order. Servants for the greedy overlords. Having millions of computers without DRM and the closed systems of Windows would not enable the ruling class to control the information and education of the servant class countries. That's what the fight for net-neutrality is also about.
