If Microsoft played nice and got along well with everyone, Linux
would have little energy to drive it. Essentially, it is a monster
of Microsoft’s own creation, and the more they fight it, and the
more energy they give it, the stronger it will get. They can defeat
it only by accepting it, and accepting that Linux will transform
Microsoft into something else. It’s very Zen.
