Almost a year ago, Goldman Sachs threw Microsoft out of its recommended

| After a while, I bet even Microsoft and Novell's customers got sick of
| hearing about how important customers are.
|
| During Thursday's last-minute teleconference and Webcast, Steve
| Ballmer went on and on about how customers like Randy Cowan,
| Goldman Sach's CTO, had given Microsoft "some serious coaching"
| on how the proprietary software giant needed to work better with
| Linux distributions. I don't imagine Cowan's coaching stipulated
| that Microsoft endorse a single distribution, because even if
| Goldman Sachs uses Suse, it probably has some Red Hat as well.
| Maybe some Debian, too.
