Of course not. The problem is that MS HAS to see linux as a competitor,
when it really is just an OS built by the community to run properly. The
approach MS takes against it's competitors has always been FUD and
monopolistic aggression. Steve's good at it, but with Linux it's like
punching a wet paper bag - all he gets is a wet fist, and no effect.
