The battle was going bad. They were seriously outnumbered, and rapidly loosing ships. His decision to destroy the planet was, although he didn't know it then, more or less humanity's last resort.
He was being a good kid and tried to satisfy the adults.
Speaking as a Linux-Lover, A newly-in-love with Mac, a sysadmin and a home & office technician in times of need - I think Linux is still very far from ready for your average office folk.
I find it extremly doubtfull that Linux will replace Windows[1], in any near future.
[1] or that Windows will be replaced for that matter.
You can't keep rig-upgrade all the time. Finding wierd solutions like emulators and buying old hardware.
Will they write an emulator 70's hardware in 2100 too ? Probably not. They point where you upgrade the whole system has to come at some point. Might as well do it now. At least now those chips aren't that old compared to 20 years from now, when NOBODY will know how to deal with them.
Though I don't envy the poor guys who'll have to rewrite that code...
(I'm refering to Joe as a "He" in this post, but i'm far from seeing myself as a "not-Joe").
How long was it since the point where CD-Writers became accesible for Joe, to when CD-Burning sortware had nice easy wizards for what Joe wanted ?
And remember that the second time around ppl are more ready. Nero And Adaptec probably have a thing or two cooking up somewhere. More then that, they are probably racing towards who comes up with the easiest Wizard first.
Now think about your Joe again. I think He's anticipating DVD Burners. You said yourself that it's all about piracy. Well what's a bigger treasure then lowering the 15$ rent-for-one-day fee at BlockBaster to a $2 have-it-forever cost ?
I give it 6-12 monthes from the point where DVD players are home affordable, to when we start see them in every living room.
But then again, i'm just another Joe...:\

"Line up people, We're going to do a Decimation !
1... 2... 3..."
I wonder how it felt like standing tenth in the line seeing the commander counting towards you...
That can defently explain a thing or two !
I think I gonna spam some frieds with a link to this article now...
No more "ffs you've been at it for 12 hours straight ! Take a break !"
IT'S ART DAMMIT !
And I've never seen so many segfaults and exceptions as with programs written in C#...
The UT engine utilizes (and this) your first two points. And the UT community utilizes the other two.
Still, the problem persists. Apperently cheaters are immune to common sense.
There is one: Celebrity Deathmatch.
Sounds like denial to me...
