It's amazing how /not threatened by Linux/ Ballmer feels. He is so
/not threatened bu Linux/ that he makes frequent announcements that he
feels /not threatened by Linux/. You know that someone feels really
confident if, every time you see them, they tell you that they feel
confident.
Just in case anyone hasn't noticed yet: Ballmer does not feel
threatened by Linux.
