In an annual letter sent to all Microsoft employees by CEO Steve Ballmer following the company's annual retreat for senior managers, Ballmer said that while most non-commercial software products present challenges to the firm, Linux in particular poses a competitive challenge to both Microsoft and the rest of the industry.
"There is always enthusiasm in our business for new concepts. So-called free software is the latest new thing. We will rise to this challenge, and we will compete in a fair and responsible manner that puts our customers first. We will show that our approach offers better value, better security and better opportunity \ufffd In the event of needed enhancements or fixes, the Linux development community, no matter how well intentioned, simply cannot advance Linux the way we can\ufffdand must\ufffdinnovate in Windows," Ballmer said.
Seems like I've heard this stated by him last year. Or is he just just using one of Billy's old speeches?
When they took the Fourth Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't deal drugs.
When they took the Fifth Amendment, I was quiet because I was innocent.
When they took the Second Amendment, I was quiet because I didn't own a gun.
Now they've taken the First Amendment, and I can't say anything about it.
