"We think our software is far more secure than open-source software (linux). It is more secure because we stand behind it, we fixed it, because we built it. Nobody ever knows who built open-source software."

yeah, that is a funny quote to people like us (and possibly him as well), but if i were ballmer i'd be saying the exact same thing.  i'd also tell people that using open source software gives you horrible rashes and may also cause anal leakage.
