A "weirdo competitor" is how Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer described Linux in a recent Business Week interview. "There's no company behind it. You don't know exactly who builds it. It's free," Ballmer said. "I prefer to say: 'Look, what we have here is a small price disadvantage.' "  


Yeah, a SMALL price disadvantage. Sure. And a large security disadvantage, a huge versatility disadvantage, etc. etc. Don't forget about those factors, Mr. Ball-less-mer.

What a jackass!  Any moron can see straight thru that bullshit:

"We'd crush them into the ground like the dirt they are if only we knew who 'they' were"

Sorry, Steve, some people out there design software because they love it, not because they get paid big bucks.  Your software sucks and you know it, because youre too lazy to make it work.

"Small" price disadvantage?

"Weirdo competitor?"

Jeez, MS has totally lost it.  Linux will own Longhorn anyway, they're going down someday.

A "small" price disadvantage??? Get your hand off it, $teve Ball-sh_t! We don't have money trees growing in our back yard, you know (even if you & Gate$ do!!!)

Ball-sh_t is just Goebbels to Gate$'s Hitler anyway - this article is just more proof, as if it were needed  :rolleyes:
