So what I can graps from your comment is that Microsoft is very evil. Quite funny from someone would have complained otherwise if the warranty on the 360 (to name one of your grief) wasn't extended.
And you seem to allocate a lot of interest into home computers, which are the most pirated/less-earning machines, especially compared to corporate. What's the mail server if I run a *nix environnement or an Apple one ? Oh right, no leads. Exchange. Maybe GroupWise (haha) or Notes (bleah). Do I see any fancy GPL software implemented in a corporation ? Nah .. why ? Support, hotfixes, no "let's try this to see if it works" stuff, just plain .. "it works" stuff and if there's a bug, they get it fixed (as in .. SOMEONE is reponsible .. not like the funny RedHat/SuSe support you can try to get, and immediatly fall into the "Ohh you installed BLABLA rpm .. then we can't help you unless you uninstall it".
The downfall of Novell was pretty similar, they started blaming every NDS problem with the fact that their poor excuse for a Novell Client was having trouble because M$ screwed it (while it was still about 95% of the corporate computer OS). What happened ? Novell dissapeared.
