Same here, although it does fit if you view Linux users as only being Linux 
users because it's free (which some are of course, but even among them the
level of piracy isn't as high as I've known on Windows).

Going off my experience of Windows users (from friends, associates etc), 
less than 5% of them have no pirated sofware at all and 60 to 70% have
mainly pirated stuff (ie: they may buy the odd bit of legal stuff, but most 
of their software is warez). If the rates truly are worse on Linux than on
Windows, we have a big problem
