Open Letter Calls Out Microsoft, Ballmer

If you keep up with the inner workings of Microsoft, I'm sure you know that Steve Ballmer can be a nut case sometimes. He is certainly not a fan of Google, and at times has given us gems like "Google’s not a real company. It’s a house of cards.". And he certainly can't stand Linux, which I don't understand,because it's not like it's a threat to him or his company. But I love this quote from him:

"Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches."

Well he's pissed off one person that is calling him out on some shady practices. François Bancilhon of Mandriva wrote an open letter to Steve about a deal that his company had locked up to deliver Linux PC's for Nigerian school kids. After the deal was complete MS back stabbed them by convincing the government to install Windows over the Mandriva Linux software.

The letter is a short read, and if you don't like Microsoft, you owe it to yourself to read it.
Thanks to Crunchgear for this.
