Microsoft’s Linux Rivals Try to Head Off Acrimony
,----[ Quote ]
| There is already some confidence that existing programs written for multiple
| versions of Linux will run in some fashion on Moblin, as long as they adhere
| to a general set of specifications called the Linux standard base. But it
| gets tricker when application software vendors start exploiting specific
| features of the operating system’s new interface, and if computer makers
| customize the software; their ability to do that is one of the main selling
| points of Linux over Windows.

| 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.
