No surprise. They follow mainframe Linux closely. It scares the pants off
them.

Early on, I had a "fishing" call from one of the MS product strategy people
looking for a copy of papers on mainframe Linux. The person pretended to be
a business person looking for info, but I was on the phone and they had to
leave a message. The number left was a number at Microsoft (and the
voicemail said so). When she called back, the question "So how's the weather
in Redmond these days?" elicited a very ... long ... pause. The tone of the
conversation changed significantly at that point.

Moments like that keep one warm at night...8-)
