A fascinating article on CNN.com at link below. Balmer threatens
governments using Linux with lawsuits over alleged intellectual
rights infringements. Classic quote from Ballmer at end of article:

"We think our software is far more secure than open-source software.
It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we
built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software," he
added.

Chutzpah!!! ;o) Here's the link to story.

Hi,

Remember that Steve Balmer is SB which is re-arranged BS!

The article should more aptly be titled "Balmer thinks his audiences are idiots". For the success MS are having, perhaps he is not far wrong.
Regards
Sid.
