The Power of Perception  

,----[ Quote ]
| A campaign featuring Jerry Seinfeld may well succeed in changing this and 
| convincing consumers to run Vista. But will it change the perceptions of IT 
| professionals in large organizations? I wouldn't bet against it. We all like 
| to think we are rational agents, but in reality we are all still susceptible 
| to advertising — even Microsoft's.    
| 
| Let's take a look at the Linux market. Linux has many things going for it, 
| yet it makes up just 13.4 percent of total server revenue. (Don't forget, 
| many servers run Linux but don't generate revenue for vendors.)

| CNET: "If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it
| be?"

| [Steve Ballmer:] "Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux,
| certainly have  to go with that."
