| You've already lost the mindshare war, and tepid changes to Microsoft's 
| server licensing policies won't change things, either. Your company's limp 
| olive branch to the open-source community ("You can use our software 
| royalty-free and without fear of legal retribution...so long as you never 
| make a penny from your efforts") is worse than insulting.

| 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.
