Subject: "Microsoft Executive Says Linux Threatens Innovation"
"Microsoft Corp.'s Windows operating-system chief, Jim
Allchin, says that freely distributed software code such as rival
Linux could stifle innovation and that legislators need to
understand the threat."
...
"I'm an American, I believe in the American Way,'' he said.
''I worry if the government encourages open source, and
I don't think we've done enough education of policy makers
to understand the threat.''
...
"Linux is the fastest-growing operating system program for
running server computers, according to research firm IDC.
It accounted for 27 percent of unit shipments of server
operating systems in 2000. Microsoft's Windows was the
most popular on that basis, with 41 percent."
