However the OSIA told the Sydney Morning Herald that if Gartner’s conclusion that pre-installing Linux encouraged people to steal copies of Windows were correct, then this "tenuous logic" could be extended. It would be possible to state that pre-installing Windows encourages people to pirate application software
An OSIA spokesman said that if there was no Windows OS on the PC, then users couldn't pirate other products like Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office or Dreamweaver which need Windows in order to be used.
If PC vendors were selling Linux pre-installed computers that can only mean there is demand for Linux on the desktop.
Ce résonnement me semble beaucoup plus juste que l'analyse de Gartner
