"Singapore: Microsoft Windows' market share in Thailand has sunk to an 
all-time low. Linux, on the other hand, has risen on the crest of a 
popularity wave. But before you think the underdog is finally having 
its day, hear what Gartner has to say. 

A report it released on Aug 18 said that much of Linux's success in 
Thailand is due to its use as a cover for software piracy. 
 
"Gartner believes that most of the Linux shipments will eventually have 
illegal copies of Windows installed-a fact that makes Linux's seeming 
dominance of this market somewhat misleading," the report stated."
