This is Prostetnic Borg-o Gates of the Galactic Microsoft Planning Council.
We are about to build a Galactic Longhorn Expressway through your system and, regretably, your Open Source has been scheduled for demolition.
Plans have been on display at 1 Microsoft Way for 5 of your Earth years, locked in a filing cabinet in a disused lavatory with a sign on the front saying "Beware of the DMCA".
The demolition will take slighly more than 2 of your Earth decades, just as soon as we've got XP Service Pack 2 working.
Prostetnic Ballmer will be passing amongst you shortly with a collection box into which you may deposit your Linux CDs and free software floppy disks as part of the amnesty.
Thank you for your time...

This just in. Microsoft has announced a beta version of a revolutionary new news aggregation service to be called "Dotdotbackslash." Unlike automatic services such as Google News, this one relies on the human judgements of hundreds of Microsoft MVPs to locate and make available the most relevant information needed for IT managers.
