  Microsoft fights off Windows rival Linux
Time: 10:45 EST/15:45 GMT | News Source: The Indianapolis Star | Posted By: Todd Richardson

Microsoft Corp. executives have called the open-source software Linux a cancer. They even have described the increasingly popular operating system -- an alternative to Microsoft's proprietary Windows -- as un-American. But now they are hoping to attach a different word: costly.

As businesses increasingly adopt Linux to run their computer servers, Microsoft is shifting the battleground from schoolyard insults to corporate notions of "business value." "There has been a lot of debate in the Linux space that has been focused on the emotion and focused on the technology," said Peter Houston, senior director of server strategy for Microsoft.
