| Competition is good, especially if it means Linux doesn't win. :) |

| Yah, as long as linux can't win, competition is good. Thats the spirit of capitalism! |

| And since Ballmer works for Microsoft, how is this not a normal scenario? How is it even news worthy? It is like reading a story about how the Pope was seen trying to persuade someone to stay in the Catholic church instead of joining some other denomination or religion. sheesh ... |

"And since Ballmer works for Microsoft, how is this not a normal scenario? How is it even news worthy?"
I guess its normal for Balmer to cut his vacations short to travel to each and every city that is considering switching to Linux? |

Maybe he was in the area at the time? Some people do vacation in Europe that live in the States. <g>
It is still, IMO, not worthy of being posted here or anywhere for that matter. |

| It is interesting that most visits from senior MS management cause those sitting on the fence to commit to using and building on MS technologies. Maybe it makes good business sense, but those zealots who are brainwashed just don't see it... |
