    This might be little of topic.

    Everytime Steve B. spreads his FUD about Linux my imagination brings an image of flying chairs.
    Can I get screensaver somewhere without risk being hit by a chair?

    Why does the article have to mention Microsoft's claims "that Linux violates its software patent" (yes, singular patent). I assume the next article this site will say: Microsoft made some sales despite Linux fan's claims that Vita is really bad.

    According to Ballmer, EVERY copy of Linux is illegal.

    "Are they actually running Linux?" You must be new here. The correct wording is, "But do they run Linux?"
