g_m10: Now we know that Linux is a threat to MicroSoft. I really don't believe that they considered it a threat when the Halloween Papers were probably intentionally leaked. Now the cat is out of the bag. You can bet your bottom-dollar that if MSFT views Linux as a competitor then they would tell us the "opposite". After all they're the greatest corporate "BSers" of all times. They even told us that the InterNet was nothing. Now we have the first concrete signal that Linux is making inroads against MSFT. It truly is amazing that anyone actually believes any of MSFT's hogwash.
