Thats absurdly vague. Every multi-billion dollar company can be easily
accused of doing something that costs N billion dollars over a period of X
years. Back up some of your outrageous claims with some facts.

MSFT moves linux up to their second biggest threat, and IBM's linux strategy
is still being "broadswiped" by MSFT? Really? Use some facts to back this up
too.

I get tired of such OUTRAGEOUS claims which have ZERO factual evidence to back
ANY of them. Do not worry, I've set up cron to remind me of this in 3
months.
I have yet to see a single fact nor link to support any of the clear BS stated
above. I'll eat my own advocacy and provide lovely links for your
entertainment tonite:
