which financial statement did you read this from?!  They make plenty of
money from both.  Lately they have realized that the desktop market is
tapped out, and starte trying to compete with Oracle, Peoplesoft, SAP,
etc.  They may have more home customers, but home customers don't buy
expensive ERP and SQL databases.

If Microsoft has large success here, and doesn't offer linux support, we
have problems, because people using linux will have fewer choices than
people using windows.  Ironic?
