Mandriva CEO rants at Steve Ballmer

Mandriva CEO François Bancilhon shows his company's PR skills with this open letter to Steve Ballmer over a deal that appears to have gone wrong. "And then, today, we hear from the customer a totally different story: 'we shall pay for the Mandriva Software as agreed, but we shall replace it by Windows afterward.' Wow! I'm impressed, Steve! What have you done for these guys to change their mind like this? It's pretty clear to me, and it will be clear to everyone. How do you call what you just did Steve, in the place where you live? In my place, they give it various names, I'm sure you know them. Hey Steve, how do you feel looking at yourself in the mirror in the morning?" (Thanks to Sam Bailey).
