Yes, they seem rather scared about the loss of market-share.

It's a very interesting situation, because it appears to be almost
desperate.  The very idea of having little "advice gurus" running around
telling businesses not to miss 5% software sale revenue shows that MS
must have worrying statistics somewhere regarding this.

HP already ships computers in China and some parts of Europe with
FreeDOS.  Dell is shipping Linux.  A certain tide is turning.
