| Trading places: IBM and Microsoft on open source |

Microsoft has fought Linux almost from its inception, but this makes a great deal of sense: Microsoft Windows competes directly with Linux on servers, personal computers, and mobile. Microsoft would be foolish to not fight Linux. Unfortunately, along the way Microsoft has confused Linux for open source, and so painted its product-level competition with Linux in too broad of brush strokes, turning it into an anti-open source crusader that it has no business (literally) being.
