BWAHAHAHAHA!!
"To the extent open-source software products gain increasing market acceptance, sales of our products may decline, which could result in a reduction in our revenue and operating margins."

They say this as though this should be against the law. It's too funny to watch what an unprofessional scared group of high school girls Microsoft really is. Just wait until desktop linux starts getting rolled out in a massive deluge. Microsoft thinks they have something to worry about now? For too long they have beaten down the entire industry. Let's see if people have forgotten the flogging. happy
