They have their own identity and expertise, so they don't need M$ at 
all. Also, free software is "compatible" with the global market economy.

For example, in Iran, there's no copyright and patent laws, so everybody 
can copy M$. But since Iran wants to enter the WTO, the government is 
urging people to use free software, because the WTO rules would then 
impose Iran to pay their "fair" amount of M$ tax:
