Microsoft will continue to attack Linux fiercely (via proxies, as usual). It's
its only way to buy time and try to get out of this mess called Vista (one of
the main issues is the inability to run on tomorrow's mobile devices). Even
Bill Gates said that Vista was too 'far' which kind of scared him (I don't
know which article I read this in). Shortly afterward he retired (to lobby,
i.e. bribe and blackmail some more pollies).
