Well, personally, I'd prefer the "evil" to show to us in its truest form, 
that is, Microsoft should enforce *every* license. This double moral of 
allowing illegal copies and then enforcing legal copies after a while has
rendered great benefits to Microsoft. I think, we should enforce legal 
software, this would not benefit Microsoft, but it'd state clear that Linux/
free soft is the *only* possibility for thousands of customers and 
organizations. Any person owning illegal Microsoft is a slave that may be 
caught and imprisonned by "Massa" Microsoft, Microsoft knows this and it 
likes it, they likes hunting the scaping "slave" with the BSA hounds. Let's 
reveal the true nature of the slavers. 

Free soft is not a philosophical term is the same "free" of always, free of 
masters, egalite, liberte et fraternite.

We should publish any illegal installation/situation and *force* Microsoft to 
start suing people, let's the evil show its real face.
