Yeah, and remember, those 'disadvantages' the MS guy's referring to are the Viral GPL. And the new advantage he presents basically comes down to being able to run a Microsoft-only system, from os to word processor to web server, and so getting better integration. While the Linux alternative is, as he says, individually tailored to suit each user (on the scale of big businesses at least) and so will never succeed because it's impossible to make such custom configurations that are as well integrated as a Microsoft-only system, you know. And if IBM tried, they would have to give up their IP to the opensource community.
