I'm one who, in a previous phase of existence, used to visit Microsoft in their lair at Redmond, and met a few of their execs round the cauldron. My beef with MS isn't the product, or even the technical staff, it's the company ethos: "Screw the Competitors!". They will use any means to stay on top: fair, foul, or downright illegal, as shown by their Frequent-Flyer card at the Anti-trust courts. This has to be a ploy to destroy the Linux community. Novell have clearly just given in to bribes or other inducements. It's aimed squarely at Red Hat who have scared them. I doubt that MS are worried by Ubuntu yet. The time will come though, if Canonical start to take significant revenue away from them, or look like the they might.
