I don't know what you're smoking, but Linux already is a serious competitor to IIS web server. On normal web hosting it's used just as much as IIS - only place IIS wins is enterprise hosting and intranets.

Nice to see yet another twisted summary. As everyone knows, Microsoft doesn't really abuse their patent portfolio. They have never used it to patent troll. Only times they've used their patents is when defending against patent trolls themself. Otherwise Microsoft never has attacked other companies.
