In the grip of reduced consumer spending, decreased advertising and a
general slowdown of trade, Microsoft, Citrix, VMware, Oracle, Sun and
other major commercial software vendors – even Red Hat who makes money

Although any of Microsoft’s products are freely available to download
from pirate networks and often advertised in spam emails, Microsoft has
