seldo writes "More news from Microsoft's latest quarterly filing: according to eWeek, Microsoft says it may have to lower its prices (http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,857638,00.asp) in response to competition from open-source software. From the filing: "To the extent the open source model gains increasing market acceptance, sales of the company's products may decline, the company may have to reduce the prices it charges for its products, and revenues and operating margins may consequently decline". This is a fairly major revelation from Microsoft, and if it happens, it may be one of the biggest wins yet for open-source software: what do you know -- competition works!"
My commentary:
That's freaking hilarious; I think MS' reigning days are beginning to show their age once again. Let's see, what has happened this past week, hmm?
Slammer, this quarterly filing, and probably a slew of other crap. Yeah yeah yeah!
