I fully support this move by Microsoft and fervently hope they expand
its reach such that it is as absolutely difficult as possible for
pirate copies of their valuable Intellectual Property to run. Better
one hundred innocents get their computers bricked than one pirate get
away with running or spreading a possibly-illegal copy.

If that doesn't market Ubuntu like crazy, nothing will.
