"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
He sounds like an unwelcomed COLA troll. Like father, like son?
Here is something that might explain the increased anti-Linux
trolling going on in COLA and just about all other Linux forums
on the internet.

Ballmer Takes Anti-Linux Campaign to IT Executive E-mail List
[quote]
It was the first time that Microsoft has used the IT executive
e-mail newsletter to overtly attack a competitive threat. In the
past, the executive e-mails from Ballmer, chairman and chief
software architect Bill Gates and group vice president Jeff
Raikes have addressed internal issues, industry challenges or
generic IT topics. Previous messages included Gates' famous
Trustworthy Computing message and two updates on security
progress, messages on spam and preserving and enhancing the value
of e-mail, managing IT for business value and Microsoft's
commitment to customers.
In his Microsoft Monitor blog, Jupiter Research analyst Joe
Wilcox noted that the lack of new arguments bewildered him until
he made a connection with the timing of the end of support for
Windows NT 4.0. The end of extended support for the
eight-year-old server operating system on Dec. 31 is widely
viewed as an opportunity for customers to consider switching
their Windows servers to Linux.
"The time is right for Microsoft to come out swinging at Linux
again. With the NT 4 support respirator about spent and customer
holdouts still hanging onto the operating system but looking for
a spry replacement, Microsoft has every reason to make sure
migration isn't to Linux," Wilcox wrote.

Since Vista as an operating system has not been well received and
there is considerable negative sentiment about it, the
opportunity has arisen for the world to embrace other operating
system technologies.
A rather good take for Linux, but a rather sad commentary on the
opposition.
