Microsoft's Nightmare

So it seems Microsoft has been having nightmares. Check out the story here. Apparently Microsoft is retaliating against Intel (yes, the chip company) in order to abolish GNU/Linux. After all a major company donating hundreds of millions to further develop a competition they already consider series is a nightmare....

... at least for Microsoft.

But not for the rest of the world.

Update: Apparently Microsoft is looking to hire a Director of Open Source Desktop strategy:

The Windows Competitive Strategy team is looking for a strong team member to lead Microsoft's global desktop competitive strategy as it relates to open source competitors.


Read here to get a better informed (yet short) take. Mine? They are fighting GNU/Linux hard because they don't want to lose. And that is relevant because one only worries when they think it is a real possibility. I'm going to endeavour to add to their nightmare.

2nd Update: Here's an interesting take on the on MS from a former insider (or at least someone who claims to be, and upon some look into it, may be credible). He's commenting on their evilness here. Sometimes it blows my mine how easy it is to intensely dislike them.

As you read the second one (it is very long)... wow. One speaker even asks "how do you sleep at night?" It's great how he validates using the stroke her (an insider of Apple) husband had to help himself promote MS. He actually "helped" (a so called "friend") so that she would in turn put a MS talk in a Mac conference. And the more I read the more I'm beginning to think that this company help Uncle Screwtape write his letters. Even I couldn't have guessed how bad these guys are.
