why not suggest that creat its own freeware windows emulator/virtual machine whatever you call it?
Basically a semi open sourced free to use product that would allow people to run their M$ products on say linux (oorm sorry GNU/Linux). that way they get there cake and get to eat it too...
they get to sell software to linux users plus it would probibly lessen the whole M$ hate thing as people would now see them as offering them a range of Os's to run their bug-ridden software on.
Think about the business ramifications... linux becoming a widely used office desktop system cos it now has support for accounting software X or thingy dodad Y.
Whats more M$ would feel right at home as it bombs vmware/wine etc etc out of the market.
but that could just open up a whole new can of worms that we havnt thought of yet. Theres probibly alot of things i've failed to consider, but i'm sure you'll all tell me what they are.
