  1. Comment - Microsoft Scrambling to Explain Ballmer Comment on Red Hat Linux

    (Oct 10, 2007 - 7:48 PM)

    Ballmer is not dumb. He would never have become so successful if he was an idiot. I would venture to say that he has poor impulse control and thinks he is untouchable. From his behaviour I'd label him a 'jerk'. With that said, Microsoft won't sue. If MS attempts patent litigation, it will backfire. Operating systems, office suites, etc. are more evolutionary than revolutionary. Patents on software are ridiculous, like patenting mathematical formulas.

    Cheers,
