We have other problems of a more political nature, because success makes
enemies.

Some are familiar. Microsoft's ambition for an unchallengeable monopoly
lock on computing made the defeat of Unix a strategic goal for the
company in the mid-1980s, five years before we knew we were in a fight.
In mid-2003, despite having had several growth markets it was counting
on largely usurped by Linux, Microsoft is still the wealthiest and most
powerful software company in the world. Microsoft knows very well that
it must defeat the new-school Unixes of the open-source movement to
survive. To defeat them, it must destroy or discredit the culture that
produced them.

I think this is what is being done.....

And don't forget to read this also

I believe in a competition its very much necessary to understand the
moves of the opponent. There might be something worth learning.
