If you like Linux and conspiracies you’ll love Stopping Linux Desktop Adoption Sabotage, by John H. Terpstra.
It’s a fine three part exposé of IT interests in the West and how the East may win over them.
I once tried to find a Linux driver for an HP printer… only to discover that although the Windows one was well placed on the vendor’s site, there was only a poorly placed reference to an open sourced contribution, by HP itself, with a link to an outside site (!) that specialized on Linux configuration assistance and drivers. It seemed that HP didn’t want to be seen to support Linux on an equal footing with Windows.
