That must be why Microsoft planned (at an executive level) to "f*ckin kill" the
PS3 launch parties in France, England and Australia (examples where I vividly
remember Microsoft's sabotage).
New interview with Ballmer:
Feeling the heat at Microsoft
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...

Linux.
Yes, Linux can't get past Microsoft's mind. Nothing has changed. All against
Linux, #1 threat to Microsoft.
