Executive summary:

New "research" from IDC (the company that previously tailored the 
numbers that went into Microsoft's "Get the FUD" campaign and which 
concluded on behalf of the BSA that "piracy" leads to poverty) is 
backed up by claims that having one's system serviced by the 
ten-year-old neighbour is a core factor in choosing Windows. BSA 
officials chip in with anecdotes about supposedly failing to install 
Linux.

Mmm... salt.
