One thing that they like even less is being pushed around, bled and 
taken for fools. Thankfully, Microsoft have those facets of the 
situation well in hand already. Unless they have a true "road to 
Damascus" experience, we're all set and time is on our side.

The downside of this effect is that it polarises people -- like our new 
best mate Francis from NZ -- so that they will extend themselves beyond 
reason to defend and support their adopted position, and the more you 
challenge them on it, the more they bunker down. The end result is that 
they finally make desperate foaming idiots of themselves (never corner 
a coward) so that all of their rational friends desert them and they 
finish up badly hurt.

Cheers; Leon
