It's true!  It's true!  Microsoft cannot stand one bit of competition.  Also what baffles me is how can a monopoly have "future growth?"  MS is as big as it can get!

All that need to happen now is for more people to start trying Linux out.  As soon as they do, Linux will start spreading like a wildfire.

There's only one word that popped into my mind upon reading that quote:
