| Microsoft tries to spin the open-source LAMP

| more expensive development path, and even that
| Microsoft offers better Web performance than LAMP-based
| development.

| it. They view the open-source LAMP stack as the proven,
| scalable winner in Web development. Microsoft can't
| match that with a price tag.

| [...]
|
| In this manner the company will be monitored to see if it uses prices that
| are unreasonably high or unreasonably low and prevent competition in the
| market.
