Let me be the devil's advocate and say that while I welcome Microsoft
acknowledgment that OSS is worthy of concern for their bottom line; I
will also recognize Microsoft role in making what OSS (and GNU/Linux
specifically) is today. Had it not been for Microsoft (and IBM) we may
not have had the PCs and Open Source Software.

"Poor" M$ appears unwilling to look in the mirror -- so it's "blame"
gets spread everywhere outside, including OSS. When it's empires starts
