Wow. That has to be the most innovative defense of Microsoft I've ever seen. Of course, the fact that Linux began as a computer-science project to make a UNIX clone, and the various BSDs all descend from the first BSD, which goes back to the 70's, put a little wrinkle into your history. Even the FreeBSD and OpenBSD projects were well under way before Microsoft had a significant lock on the market. Not to mention the roots of OS X in NeXT, which was founded before MS achieved dominance. Sent at: 2008 10 07
