“The energetic cry of most contestants — “Big Bucks! No
Whammies!” — appears to well-describe the business element of the

measurable, noticeable money out of Microsoft’s (and other
vendors’) pockets. The gloves are off, and the fighting’s going to
get far dirtier than simply unfavorable benchmark reports.
“We can expect an increasing number of attempted Whammies in the
months to come as every flaw of Linux, real or not, gets amplified
to the world.”
