What do you know? Microsoft was right about Linux all along.
Back in 1998, when lawyers for the software company tried to debunk the federal government's monopoly charge against it, they argued that the dynamics of an operating system market were inherently fluid.
That was good for a chuckle.
However with the passage of years, it's clear that--whatever the original motivation--Microsoft's strategists had more insight into Linux than most of the critics.
