Hmmm... how uninteresting
"Microsoft isn't spending a lot of time and money convincing people not to switch to Linux or Novell, uh, the other Linux."

You aren't kidding are you?

"They're busy trying to convince people not to be so satisfied with their older software."

Yeah, that's the ticket... yeah.

"Open source doesn't work."

Are you sure about that? There are hundreds of thousands of examples of it working quite well.

"you can't deploy infrastructure based on someone's interpritation of an operating system."

What do you mean by "interpritation"? Explain because I'm really curious.

"That's why Windows is working and will continue to dominate the world."

That's not why, but I agree that they will continue to dominate the desktop.
