> but not products from the gaming division, that also might cause consumer unrest Some people will complain. Others will just buy a PlayStation. Sony can even "sweeten the deal" by giving discounts on the console and maybe talk publishers into allow people to swap their Xbox copy of a game for the PS version for maybe a small fee, and come off looking like a hero. Basically if the Xbox gets banned in the UK. It's pretty much free real estate for Sony and Nintendo to move in. > I'm old enough to have gone all-in on Microsoft alternatives around the turn of the century. European countries have been pushing initiatives like this for decades without meaningful results. Maybe this time it would work? Frankly, no one has really made a focus effort to replace Windows. It's more trouble than it's worth. But if MS declares war on the UK and Windows is out of the picture ... and once the ball gets rolling and should a standardized Linux Desktop get critical mass, there is a chance it can become an viable competitor to Windows worldwide.
