Got this link from a friend inside MS. :-) http://www.microsoft.com/msft/speech/BallmerMSDW01.htm STEVE BALLMER: I think you have to rate competitors that threaten your core higher than you rate competitors where you're trying to take from them. So in some senses it puts the Linux phenomenon and the Unix phenomenon at the top of the list. That really is job one for us, because that?s the threat to the Windows business. That's the threat through that to the Office business. So I'd put the Linux phenomenon really as threat number one. -- Bob Tanner <tanner at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.mn-linux.org | Fax : (952)943-8500 Key fingerprint = 6C E9 51 4F D5 3E 4C 66 62 A9 10 E5 35 85 39 D9
