When the distrust is such that individual governments in EU countries won't buy MS software and are trying to move to open source solutions, I'd say it hurts sales. What tends to be forgotten is that MS is oriented to institutional customers, not individual consumers, and their target customer is the Fortune 500 CIO who can sign off on a PO for a 10,000 unit Windows and Office site license with platinum support.
