[News] [Linux] eWeek Analyst on Microsoft Lost War Against Linux

Microsoft's New Open-Source War

,----[ Quote ]
| However, there was one aspect of this whole circus that struck me
| immediately upon seeing the news. And that was that this whole
| effort of FUD on the part of Microsoft is a clear sign that they
| have given up. Microsoft has been fighting a war for the last 
| several years, and this announcement about the 235 patents was as
| clear as a white flag that they have given up on ever winning
| that war.
| 
| Which war is it that I'm referring to? It's the war over you, the
| IT worker and administrator.

"Microsoft takes on the free world", and loses (a commentary)

,----[ Quote ]
| You can't defeat this community so why not joining us on the equal
| footing, on the terms which govern the rest of this community, a
| true fair play, a new free world in which both you and us can
| coexist without trying to subvert each others' chances, a true
| free market. You can't be that adverse towards the concept of a
| free market, right? The time of your monopoly is over. If you
| can't deal with that, you deserve to be defeated in the great
| patent armageddon.
| 
| It's your choice, Microsoft, it's your choice.
