I stopped reading when I saw:

Microsoft counters that it is a matter of principle. "We live in a world 
where we honor, and support the honoring of, intellectual property," 
says Ballmer in an interview. FOSS patrons are going to have to "play by 
the same rules as the rest of the business," he insists. "What's fair is 
fair."

What M$ is bitching about, is that they're not getting -all- of the 
dollars spent in the world on computing.

They're whining, is what they're doing.
