Not so imo Roy.
Just look back, and tell me how much that FUD, and the SCO case, held back
Linux adoption. IIRC, it was even responsible for the Munich delay at that
time?
Having calculated how long it held back adoption, one then simply needs to
translate that period of time into the extra profit that it gave MS over
that period to work out that it was money well spent from the MS
perspective!
