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.

And Linux seems to be a good competitor. They might actually drop prices!

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)?

MS will change their prices so they appear cheaper.
