"Microsoft has Linux in its sights and is going to do everything it can to make the open source upstart look like an also-ran." That's nice.... M$ has Linux in it's sights. ROFL! Every cracker on the net had Windows in there sites (err. or should that be sights). The real test will be the amount of money those M$ drones convince their bosses and boards to spend in order to drive their admins nuts with patches, hacks, data loss and theft. Let's see. Last year the amount of patches for M$ servers and software needed was on the order of 1 ever 1-1/2 weeks. Also, we shant go into the amount of money, downtime, and revenue lost by companies due to stuff like CODE RED, Nimda, etc.. etc... If M$ spent as much money on building a better product as they do on marketing, advertising, and legal fees they might just make something worth while. It's just more FUD and more smoke and mirrors - and frankly it's wearing thin with more and more.
