Mr. Corbet's one-line quote was exactly the right journalistic choice: it was the only surprising, new thing in the article. That made it news. Would that more people could both tell the difference and read kernel code.

There is nothing unusual at all about Microsoft's stock rating taking a hit, nor is it unusual that Linux is listed as a threat. Microsoft's own people have been listing Linux as a threat since the antitrust lawsuits began.

This is "...the only surprising, new thing in the article"? Hardly.
