True. This looks grim for a monopolist who takes pride in technical
superiority. Not only does it choose Linux. You must also remember that
Microsoft has _NO ACQUISITION COSTS_ for Windows. It means that Linux wins
on performance and not only TCO. Also see the reference (in the link above)
to the WIreless routers that run Linux and help Redmond comminute.

Best wishes,
