Google and Linux are the biggest threat to Microsoft (says Ballmer) and...

...Don't you think we need to be aware of what they do to sabotage Linux (and
Google)? Learn from history. They have no ethics. They are ruthless. They are
secretive. These new business models (free software and Web/ad-supported
services) drive them mad. They try to change and subvert (moving goalposts or
pull carpets from under rivals' feet). They can't buy he competition either.
Some of the market share they buy (e.g. that company they recently bough for
$6 billion) are actually using Linux, so it shows you how miserable they are.
They throw money away. They recruit other companies to do their fights too
(Novell, Big Media, e.g. to fight YouTube).

We need truth. Microsoft uses Big Lie strategies.
