i don't feel this shud be an issue.. right now linux has a very loyal and
knowlegeable user base who are not the kind of ppl m$ likes to target... and
it is not going to be easy for m$ to survive in the linux market with their
old trade and marketing practices.. there they had a monopoly... here they
don't... in windows/msdos m$ was one of the first movers.. in linux if m$
eves comes it wud be surely a last mover... and lastly i still think that we
need more competetion in commercial linux software.. there r not 2 many
players in the productivity and office suite market..
