"What makes this FUD so impressive is that this attention to detail obscures
the sleight of hand that is going on here. The white paper may predict
sales by the "Microsoft ecosystem" of over $40 billion in six of Europe's
biggest economies, but what this figure hides is the fact that income for
Microsoft and its chums is a cost for the rest of Europe. In other words,
IDC's white paper is effectively touting an expense of over $40 billion as
a reason why the European Commission should welcome Vista with open arms"
