“The first thing that will happen is Microsoft will fabricate a
benchmark that shows NT beating Linux in key performance areas.

Transmeta will be the subject of patent infringments.”
“I don’t know what we can do to defend ourselves.”
“there can be no peaceful coexistence between Linux and
Microsoft.”
