| I’ve got to tell you, in every - other than the battle with Open Source, 
| every other competitor, I love being able to come into a room and saying 
| we’re better and we’re cheaper. We’re going to try to say we’re better and 
| we’re cheaper basically. I don’t think this is sort of the end of the story 
| by any stretch of the imagination, but I think it tells you we’re going to do 
| things a little differently.

| 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.
