[LINK] Ballmer: United, we'll stomp on Linux

[Rick Welykochy]

<http://news.com.com/2100-1001-959165.html>

excerpts:

1   "Asked by one lateral-thinking MVP whether Microsoft planned to offer applications
     software on Linux, Ballmer said no, adding that the big issue was a reluctance to
     accept legal liability for open-source software."


2   "We do not anticipate offering software on Linux," said Ballmer. "Nobody pays for
     software on Linux."  

Re 1: Since when did MS accept legal responsibility for its proprietary software?

Re 2: need I even comment?


cheers
