Linux only. Then, there are all those motherboards with Linux on them. Over ten

| 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

| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
