The man is deluding himself again with this one. Suppliers giving cashbacks is not a "dirty trick", it's a perfectly valid, well-used sales practice. Did Mr Schestowitz complain when Sony gave cashbacks on their TVs? Is he complaining that some Electrolux washers have a $150 cashback here in Australia as well? No, he wouldn't see anything wrong with this. On the computing side, virtually all major computer manufacturers here in Australia offer cashbacks on almost all their models, due to competition.
If Microsoft does it, it obviously must be an evil strike against Linux.
Roy Schestowitz wouldn't last ten seconds in the real world.

My car got stolen - must've been a Microsoft proxy!
