As soon as you notice the problem, try very hard to avoid writing anything to the partition until you've run the application.

Not true. I am a Linux user, and I have absolutely no problem paying
for software. I payed for Opera when it cost money, and I'll pay for
Photoshop the day it becomes available. I'll probably pay for quicken
as well.

It's FUD like you mention that prevents businesses from porting
software to Linux, in fact, that's the reason that they write software
for Windows in the first place. If your ideals or your wallet dictate
that you will only use FOSS software, that's fine. But don't think
that you represent everybody, because you don't, and you hurt the
community by trying to represent the community in a way that it does
not want to be represented.
