Microsoft has long been worried about Linux competition in the server market. When it came to ordinary PCs and laptops, however, it knew it had little to fear. But that was then. Now Microsoft may fear Linux on the desktop as much as it does the Mac. It's finally taking Linux seriously as a desktop operating system, and it has designed Windows 7 to kill it.

After using Linux for about

After using Linux for about 3 months I don't think that Microsoft would be able to keep up with Linux neither on desktop nor on server.
Security, usability, customizability and more, Linux is far ahead of Windows and Microsoft.
Since I started using Linux I'm loving it day after day. It is just another life, the free life.

They can only keep up using

They can only keep up using there superior marketing technics, I guess.

Yeah right! Linux is

Yeah right! Linux is superior to windows!
This is just fanboy talk
I've heard a lot of Linux dev guys talk about Linux and free software, they've never said it's superior to propitiatory software, they say it's a good alternative and they personally like it more.
Linux, Windows and Mac OSX they all have their own pros and cons.

When saying "They" and "there" I meant Microsoft.

In response to mpcabd, I am saying that Linux is better than (not superior to) Windows, but Windows can (and possibly will) keep up with Linux, using the superior marketing technics of Microsoft.
