Very few people *want* an operating system.  They usually just want a
computer to get some work done with.

Also, I like how they mentioned Linux and Open Source in a backhanded
compliment sort of way.  Like the FLOSS community does not invent
anything and does not do R and D.  Pretty funny.  Of course it is a
smokescreen to cover their real enemies.

The real enemy for MS is Apple.  On laptops over $1,000, Apple has 80%
of that market.  Apple scares me more than MS.  That is just my opinion
but it saddens me to see so many Apple laptops at conventions.
