#3 "I know you hate it that Microsoft is competing."
We all hate it - we're all here complaining how our OS' (whether they be *BSD/Linux/etc.) aren't costing us per license fees, we're all complaining that we too cannot have an OS that's limited to 3 processes! and we're all complaining that we can't limit our resolutions to a maximum of 800x600!
#2 is correct - people aren't going to purchase a half-assed, limited, broken version of XP just to be legitimate all of a sudden. If it didn't worry them up to now, it's not going to start worrying them now.

#10 "I will say that this version of XP isn't aimed at individuals"
I think you can't admit that this is a "half-assed, limited, broken version of XP" and instead have to try and sell it as Microsoft competing. It's not aimed at individuals you say, but the government. We will see if the Russian government decide to go with Windows XP Crippled Edition.
"I will remind you that support for Microsoft products is so much cheaper than support for RedHat."
Two key points here:
* I said licensing fees, not support. You can always choose to pay for support.
* Redhat doesn't encompass *BSD/Linux/etc.
