If Microsoft ever does applications for Linux it means I've won.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Linux people do what they do because they hate Microsoft.
I'm interested in Linux because of the technology, and Linux wasn't started as any kind of rebellion against the 'evil Microsoft empire.'
I don't try to be a threat to MicroSoft, mainly because I don't really see MS as competition. Especially not Windows-the goals of Linux and Windows are simply so different.
I think that Microsoft will increasingly feel margin pressure from Linux as well as people saying: well actually the applications that really matter to me are not on my PC. And so they're going to be able to extract less of a monopoly rent, so to speak.
Microsoft has a monopoly over the desktop operating systems.
A lot of that momentum comes from the fact that Linux is free.
Of course, all of the software I write runs on Linux; that's the beauty of standards, and of cross-platform code. I don't have to run your OS, and you don't have to run mine, and we can use the same applications anyway!
All the best people in life seem to like LINUX.
Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.
Microsoft loves Linux.
