One winner in the Oracle-Sun deal: Microsoft?

Preston Gralla: Acer and Intel: Crippled Windows 7 netbooks won't sell

Has Microsoft lost its war on open source?
Is Microsoft a friend or foe of open source? Going by the company's actions,
Microsoft can't seem to decide whether to make love or war. But if it's

adversaries.
