Ballmer says he's willing to spend 10% of Microsoft's income for the
next 5 years to beat Google. This of course includes bribes to get
people to use Bing instead of Google. The latest is that Microsoft
will donate to environmental causes if you download IE8. Of course
their "donation" will probably consist of vouchers for Microsoft
software. Linux is doing its part by forcing Microsoft to lower
prices in the netbook area and keeping XP alive longer than it would
have been, among other things.
