Story: Microsoft advised to learn to love Linux

Yes, I completely agree!
Although I use Linux myself, and have a tendency to dislike Microsoft's products, my greatest concern for Microsoft as a company has been whether or not it will take the steps necessary to embrace open source, but keep their current customers happy...
In other words, I've been waiting to see whether or nor nor Microsoft would "spin off" a little company whose sole purpose would be to develop open source of some sort.
Unfortunately, it hasn't happened yet! and Microsoft in fact has just been fighting Linux rather than working with it...and all the while, Linux hackers simply just hone their products, and they gradually creep up on the customer base of Microsoft, until Microsoft is left with no business whatsoever!
