if you believe this, then I have some land I'd like for you to look at some land in... with M$ [abundant lack of] moral scruples and the admitted fact that "Linux is enemy number one", it doesn't take Euclidian logic to draw a conclusion that matches the evidence. they are not yet in full gear - they are not benign.
