Craig Mundie Chief Research and Strategy Officer Microsoft Corporation I thing Microsoft is tired of not being in the top500. They will promote new benchmarks instead of the ones that make them look bad. And there are rumours on Windows for ARM on servers. I say Mr. Mundie, I can see what your strategy is all about...

Please take a look at those: http://bethstepsup.blogspot.com/ http://planet.laptop.org/

Because the whole story is bullshit. The "security" vendor wants to scare people, so they can sell more antivirus crap. These people are afraid that their business model is dying (and it is). They want you to think that disclosing vulnerabilities is bad, they want you to think that open source sites are vulnerable, they want you to think that security is something that can be bought by the pound (or the kilogram). Plus this kind of story helps Microsoft showing that Google is evil.

What they are doing is creating a weapon. They won't go after Red Hat directly, so they will loose a bunch of lawsuits against patent trolls, and let the trolls try to go after Red Hat in hope that Red Hat won't survive the multiple lawsuits. Then they will have convince the word that Linux is fragile because stupid software patents.
