[News] Microsoft's Attempt to Assimilate to Open Source Could Backfire

Microsoft's competitive positioning against open source

,----[  ]
| Mr. Ballmer, I somehow doubt this, just as your claim to bury
| Google has been...buried. I have no doubt that you will try, but
| in Red Hat you've stumbled upon a competitor just as determined
| as you, and just as stubbornly devoted to the customer, with a
| tool (open source) that you don't know how to beat. I think
| you've got a serious game on your hands, and a game where Red
| Hat holds the winning ace. It's called open source, and the
| customer is voting with its wallet.
| 
| I think you're going to lose.
