Microsoft Acknowledges Competition from Linux

In a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, Microsoft has admitted that Linux (and, to an extent, Apple) is a competitive threat to Windows. Well, that might very well be true, but we all know what the biggest competitive threat to any new version of Windows is: the old version, Windows XP. Whether Microsoft mentioned that, we don't know; to be honest, we didn't read the whole filing. If you really want to, check out Annual Form 10-K here.

In an SEC filing? That's no big surprise. What's the alternative? Microsoft to say "we have no real competition and should be regulated more closely"...?
