In an interesting twist of MS’s strategy (after the Mindcraft
incident), Steve Ballmer admitted during a keynote address in
Austria that “Apache is simply better.” Here is what he had to say

TV’s web site): “It is our own fault if we do not offer enough
features with our servers to justify their price. When it comes to
hosting several sites on one server version, Apache is simply
better. Windows 2000 will solve this problem.” Ballmer gave the
keynote address on May 31 at an official presentation of MS Office
2000 after taking to Austria’s chancelor Viktor Klima, whom Ballmer
called politely “the most IT-knowledgable head of government in
Europe.”
