  Ballmer: United, we'll stomp on Linux
Time: 04:04 EST/09:04 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Alex Harris

Microsoft's taking a leaf out of Linux's book to fight off its open-source rival--it's calling its dedicated band of supporters to arms. Although the software company cannot compete against Linux on price, the company will use its community of professionals to outsmart the open-source movement, CEO Steve Ballmer told an audience of Microsoft Most Valued Professionals (MVPs) in London on Monday.

"Linux is a serious competitor," said Ballmer. "We have to compete with free software on value, but in a smart way. We cannot price at zero, so we need to justify our posture and pricing. Linux isn't going to go away--our job is to provide a better product in the marketplace." He acknowledged there was more to Linux than free software--the main benefit of the open-source movement was the community developing software and sharing ideas. "Linux is not about free software, it is about community," he said. "It's not like Novell, it isn't going to run out of money--it started off bankrupt, in a way."

"It's not like Novell, it isn't going to run out of money..."

Lol! Steve is great!

#4 this is the sense: Bob highlighted and made a comment about a jocke made by Steve Ballmer; #2, the troll, just acted as a troll, adding nothing to this thread. Ergo I would rather read someone who makes a comment or state an opinion rather than someone who says nothing therefore waist my time.

Don't worry #8. Speaking skills generally improve by age 9. You'll get there...

#2 - I'm curious, if you edited your post... what did it originally say?

#5 - HA! That's funny. :)

#8 - That makes no sense from a Latin grammar standpoint. I understand the joke, but the words are used incorrectly.

For my foreign language requirement I took Latin. Can't write very well, but I can translate into english with the help of my dictionary. :)

why dont you all go to h3ll and leave it at that.

I'm glad to see that MS (all the way to the top) takes Linux seriously. Its easier to fight against something you respect.

Thanks for the support Jagged, Fritzly!

nostradamus - Oh you are so very wrong.

nostradamus:

'enlightened' opensources? That's funny.... if you ask me, nearly every so called 'enlightened' that I've ever met has always been a one-sided, biased troll.


I guess I just don't understand the point of jumping behind one company, or one group. The fact is, you use what's best for you.... if you were 'enlightened' you wouldn't be trying to cram BS down people's throats.


Good day.
