Yeah I can see that as a possibility, but again, I highly doubt they would spend effort or even want to cause harm to Linux in this way. Maybe they would like to own it or have some control over it in some way but I don't see Microsoft as a threat or anything to worry about personally.
Sure, I mean it’s not like they’d lose billions if they were no longer the dominant OS. 
You forgot one of the messages @tbg 
It's all subliminal. 
You dick 
Am too ! 
Well they likely will never be overtaken by Linux on the desktop regardless of if they intervene in some way. If they're worried about not being the dominant OS then they would put their efforts more into competing and doing better against Apple's Mac OS. I doubt Linux is even a thought by the higher-ups Microsoft as it doesn't matter at all when it comes to adoption by general users. Only place it is and likely always will have a high level of adoption is by enthusiasts, geeks and in the case of server's.
Take that
Enough flattery.
Stop flirting with me then

Someone young boring an older man? Isn't it usually the other way round with all your stories from your life putting kids to sleep?
You just go on repeating the mistakes of the past.

I got it from a South Park episode.
(Canadians arguing amongst themselves)
"Hey, don't call me buddy, guy!"
"Don't call me guy, pal!"
" Don't call me pal, buddy!"
Or something like that. Note that they argue in a 'friendly' manner.
