any one saw that PC mag (or other mag nt 100%sure)interview with Bill gates? the reporter asked why M$ don't taking any serious legal actions against pirated copies in countries like China, and india.
Bill gates said, " let them use it, let them get used to it. let them get addict. then we will get the revenge"
and in the XPs drowing board, they focus their minds and even took the psychological sup.. (have a doubt.. try google) .. thats y most of us addict to XPs interface and couldn't switched for vista even 
BSA thing is a silent before the storm. If the storm got in to the visual contact. its TOO LATE..
You can make similar interface with linux without getting sued. But the hardware,software compatibility and user community are the biggest things you can't beat in windows.
The guy next door use MS Word and Windows the guy in Antarctic use the same. Almost every hardware has windows drivers and most of them detects automatically. So much compatibility and so many people to talk and share.

thats y they introduce boot camp.. and use intel chips for their PCS and notebooks
and also. they don't take ant legal actions againts pirated copies of their OSs?? are they?
boot camp mean more expansion for Windows. Now they can run on Mac too. From Apples side they can sell more machines. People like to buy them coz they are beautiful. Now they can run their favorite Windows in them too. So Windows in a Nice machine

Apple can sell more machines but it will not really expand Mac OS userbase.
If you check Mac forums most of them have Win XP running on their machines with OS X.
About legal action yes Apple take very serious legal actions.. way better than Microsoft. They wanna sell machines and their hardware for premium price. Thats where they earn money. So they dont want others to run only their software.
Apple actually selling same PC hardware for very high prices with nice looking bodies. But their designing skills are great!
