Story: Microsoft denies role in Birmingham Linux flop

Monopolies should not be justfied

Laurent Lachal: "Microsoft is going out of its way to lower prices to get deals. If it lowers it to the point where it makes no sense to deploy open source, then it is a good deal for the organisation."

1) This comment proves that, in the absence of market distortion, Open Source costs less than Windows. Did you intend to say this Mr. Lachal?

2) It's also an attempt at justify the uncompetitive business practices on a monoploy. Should Ovum be encouraging this sort of thing?
