Microsoft Urged Linux Retaliation

Is it because they have blackmailed "Millions of $s"?
In that case, wouldn't it be more suitable to use "B$" as they have blackmailed "BILLIONS of $s"...
No, but wait! Wouldn't that sound then like it's a "Bull$..." company?!?!?
So then, what, should Microsoft be advertising Linux? Give me a fucking break. Software is a business. Linux can't compete because it's not run as a business. The "choice" is out there. The fact that nobody wants to "choose" Linux certainly isn't Microsoft's fault.
I don't like brussels sprouts, so I don't eat them. I like tomatoes, so I eat them.
My wife does not like mushrooms, so she doesn't eat them. My wife likes steak, so she eats it.
Neither my wife nor I like Corona Beer, so we don't drink it. We like Sam Adams, so we drink it.
Neither my wife nor I like Microsoft products, so we don't use them at home. We like Linux, so we accordingly use Linux.
So what's my point? If you don't like it, there is nobody holding a gun to your head requiring you to use it. If you want an alternative, you know where to find it.
This sig no verb.
You're right. Big companies that make money are truly evil. I jsut hope all of the kids who think this aren't typing away on computers that were made by "big" companies...
Microsoft is beginning to cripple itself, by constantly showing that it cant create a quality product, they dont need our help.

Which does not belong?
i on-to as an mp3 and then you would be ok with its distribution.

Let's play again:
Which does not belong?
Sun, IBM, Cisco, RED-freaking-HAT??
To your point: FREE SPEECH!! FREES SPEECH!! Stop trying to squash the perspective of a citizen of these United States who can speak his mind on any topic!! You oppressor! Maybe the guy should have encoded his idea-that-no-one-within-Microsoft-paid-any-attent
I hate to say it, but there is going to be a huge hole in a lot of the Slashdot communities lives when the MS trial is over and these 'huge' conspiratorial headlines screaming across the news.
