As reported earlier, Microsoft's new slogan is "start something"
Now we find out the thinking behind it:

"Start Something" is meant to push us into buying more PC hardware
quicker, raking in a few extra billion for MS and its partners.
Unfortunately for MS, open source is about slowing the hardware cycle
down, without losing business opportunities -- creating more of those
in effect. This will keep those billions in the pockets of the users
and enable them to make a few bucks for themselves.
Now if you are to choose, what would you pick?
