4. He's already hitched his wagon to MS, so he'll do anything
If there's one good thing to say about MS, it's that they put a crack in St. Scottie's armor-- one that OSS and Linux are now driving the Mack Truck through.

Scott M. is a pompous windbag who seems to think that everyone should run one of his $10k workstations, or his $2k "network computers"-- even if it's just your mom keeping track of her recipes and sending email to the grandkids.

Linux ate his lunch on the software/OS side, and now low-priced commodity hardware is doing it on the workstation/server side. Better learn some new tricks, Scott, uncle Billy will only prop you up as long as you're useful.
