Microsoft is afraid of Linux because they lost money on X-Box and MSN. Their server licenses will never go down in price, and their stability will never get better. Most people would pay an equal amount for Linux just because it's more dependable and the software around it is all free. I hope that Microsoft learns that buying people's intrests is wrong and lame. They did it to the world on IE (Spyglass), and obviously haven't learned. If they base it on said "opinions and customer arguements" they have no base for arguement. It is proven that Linux is ceaper, faster, more dependable, and more supportive of devices and the growing needs of everyone's corporate infastructure. Microsoft cannot target Linux in America for the sole fact that Linux has taken over more people and they are already screwed. Microsoft is now declining in value because they "buy people out" by pure force, not money.
