Ballmer Thinks MS Owns Linux
Unfortunately Ballmer doesn’t realize that Novell is simply a collection of packages. Since he indemnified Novell’s distro he has effectively indemnified all gpl packages in the distro. Ballmer’s claim he owns Linux is ludicrous. Here’s the Inquirer link and the Linkworld link.

This brings total power consumption to an earth-heating 225W.”… Read more
