[News] Ballmer's Linux Quotes

Ballmer's Anti-Linux rants.

,----[ Quote ]
| # There's no company called Linux, there's barely a Linux road map.
| Yet Linux sort of springs organically from the earth. And it had,
| you know, the characteristics of communism that people love so very,
| very much about it. That is, it's free. - in 2000
| 
| # We do not anticipate offering software on Linux. Nobody pays
| for software on Linux. - in 2002
| 
| [...]
| 
| # The way the license is written, if you use any open-source
| software, you have to make the rest of your software open source.
| If the government wants to put something in the public domain, its
| hould. Linux is not in the public domain. Linux is a cancer that
| attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything
| it touches. - in 2001
| 
| # "We believe every Linux customer basically has an undisclosed 
| balance-sheet liability." - in 2006
