Ballmer blames pirates for poor Vista sales
I hope you do realize that they said the same thing about XP. It's not against Vista per se, it's just how the gov deals with things.

In fact, you could create the same *partnership* with Novell if you wanted to, and BTW you wouldn't have a lot of crappy Windos legacy code to make /compatible/. Yea, brother. Oh, yeah, Steve Ballmer is really someone you can trust. This deal makes no sense for MS, especially with Vista on the doorstep.
