Here is their /real/ take on competition:

“I’m thinking of hitting the OEMs harder than in the past with anti-Linux. …
they should do a delicate dance”

             –Joachim Kempin, Microsoft OEM Chief

“Fucking Eric Schmidt is a fucking pussy. I’m going to fucking bury that guy, I
have done it before, and I will do it again. I’m going to fucking kill
Google.”

             –Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO

“Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to
everything it touches.”

             –Steve Ballmer, Microsoft CEO

“We should whack them [Dell over Linux dealings], we should make sure they
understand our value.”

             –Paul Flessner, Senior Vice President, Server Applications Unit

“I’d be glad to help tilt lotus into into the death spiral. I could do it
Friday afternoon but not Saturday. I could do it pretty much any time the
following week.”

             –bradsi, Microsoft

“We need to slaughter Novell before they get stronger….If you’re going to kill
someone, there isn’t much reason to get all worked up about it and angry. You
just pull the trigger. Any discussions beforehand are a waste of time. We need
to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger.”

             –Jim Allchin, Platform Group Vice President
