Showing that Microsoft perhaps "got it" all along, but just chose poor tactics in it's competition with Linux, Steve Ballmer is now saying some very interesting things.
"Linux is a serious competitor. We have to compete with free software on value, but in a smart way. We cannot price at zero, so we need to justify our posture and pricing. Linux isn't going to go away - our job is to provide a better product in the marketplace." "Linux is not about free software, it is about community." "We will beat Linux on clusters. We can't beat them on price, but we have to add value." Now, if they actually start to deliver better products (and support for them) I think everyone would be happier. http://news.com.com/2100-1001-959165.html Mark Post
