Typical geek, focused on a tiny niche in the market, not the giant meaty center of the market where MSFT rakes in billions every year. Vista sold 20 million licenses in the first month. For anyone keeping track, that's roughly $2 billion in revenue, assuming an ASP of $100.
Did you see this guy's "books" link? Two books about LISP- that tells you all you need to know. What he is saying is that geeks don't fear MSFT. Personally, I would fear any company in my space with billions in free cash flow and thousands of people they could assign specifically to destroy my business.
