Microsoft and Seinfeld: A Comedy of Errors?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft's hiring of Jerry Seinfeld as a Windows Vista pitchman had the
| Linux community in stitches last week. The prevailing wisdom seems to be that
| it's an indication Windows has jumped the shark. Dell's plans to ship a
| subnotebook with Ubuntu gave bloggers a further boost.

Ozzie: Open source a more disruptive competitor than Google
,----[ Quote ]
| Competitors like his former employer, Lotus, and now, Google, have spurred
| the company to make changes to its business to stay ahead, Ozzie said. But
| while Google is a “tremendously strong competitor,” Ozzie acknowledged, “open
| source was much more potentially disruptive” to Microsoft’s business. (He
| noted that, unlike Google, many open-source programmers aren’t beholden to
| shareholders.)

Feeling the heat at Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
