An interesting but ultimately no news story this one. Less FUD and more, help us fight the evil ones.

That was a big sob story. They lose money out of their billions. Good. I hope they lose much, much more.

I hope more people will realise that Open Source software is cheaper and better... why use something that is more expencive and unstable, like most Microsoft software (with the exception of "Services for Unix" which is pretty good)?
