I'm a french citizen and I tell can tell you that they've already blocked LimeWire , Emule, EDonkey.

The law will actually make it better considering it's a 100$ fine right now.

Not so bad considring it's still the songwriters right to the music. But trully the best french anti piracy is www.deezer.com It's like a pandora that like's you. So there are alternative in Europe for those who don't need their Ipod to listen to music and use a PC

Now lets look at it realistically.

 The reason why Microsoft makes so much money is windows. the only two things which do not depend on it are windows mobile(the failure) and the Xbox 360(the only good thing by them since XP)

 34$ per OS means it's 60$ to make vista basic. so every time someone would download microsoft would loose money.

The reason linux works is that so many people work on it. Ubuntu for example owes it's simplicity from the demand made by windows users. I like not going thrue the command line each time I want to install something.

 Microsoft can't go open source just because it would be imposible to make the same kind of OSs at that scale. If Vista was a flop just imagine if they didn't have money.

MICROSOFT MUST AT LEAST HAVE IT SO IT DOESN'T LOOSE MONEY.

 If it's 60$ to make then at least charge 60$ not 59.
