Parent article: Ballmer: No sleep lost over Linux (News.com)

Clone of a 20+ year old OS? Windows was first announced 20 years ago (and was released 18 years ago) - so 20 years old isn't that bad :-)

Otherwise this article is typical Balmer bluster. How many times can you fit the word innovation into a paragraph?

Advice to Microsoft:
Deny and bash the reality of Opensource as long as possible.
Increase licensing 6 fees.
Continue to make newer incompatible versions of Word, Excel etc.
Increase the hardware checks in _all_ programs like in XP.
Promote DRM for "everybody's" protection.
Increase enforcement of piracy software use and audits of public institutions.
Brag about inventing things you did not invent.
Continue with the head in the sand routine.
Continue to charge $450 for a $60 Office suite and $150 for a $30 OS.
