Well, if that is the case, it will be money that will remain in the country, so it's a win-win situation... unless I miss something.

Linux is Microsoft's vietnam. As powerful, well funded, and capable as they are - they cannot win this war against an underground army of linux programmers hell bent on destroying them.

Microsoft strategy? Patent enough shit such that they can hope to litigate Linux out of existence.

Hehe, this can only be good. Linux sucks too though. If Windows is good for something, it's compatibility. But I like the idea of Linux, FREE. It's the way it should be. I just hope I won't need to download a new security patch every few hours for Linux. :) PEACE.
