They're scared shitless. Not so much of Linux (it has it's faults) but
of the whole open-source (or free, if you're a GNU) community. They're
realising we're better than them (considering it was this sort of
community which created their industry) but they can't admit that.

Well OK, they can, but then they'd 'lose face', which is a no-no for
large companies. Personally I'd love a company which at least once
admitted without being forced that, yes, they'd made a mistake.

Incidentally, see the post I'm about to write about AOL...
