" Ballmer's lament that Linux lacks a "'center of gravity,' or central body, investing in the health and growth of noncommercial software or innovating in critical areas like engineering, manageability, compatibility and security," ignores the fact that this is a _feature_, not a bug "

Not only linux but the entire open source movement, is what M$ dont know how to handle.... , because above are the features that have made impossible to M$ to squach Linux/FOSS like they did to the rest of the competition in the pass...

They have not given up,... and projects like XAML/Longhorn and NGSCB/Paladium only show that they are hopping to capture the "WEB", and to lock-in to themselfs the PC hardware platform...

Lets make them fail !... (sorry Ballmer, but now if you are worried, Linux/FOSS probabilly will not stop even if you are panic dying... so the choices are clear...).
