    Linux could seriously hurt Microsoft's future growth if it treads on
    more of the software giants turf, according to Microsoft's chief
    financial officer

Methinks this is like mama duck waving `broken' wing at fox in terms of 
protecting Microsoft from nasty EU sanctions, but this coincidence of names 
amused me:

    Microsoft chief financial officer John Connors said on Wednesday[...]

Works for SkyNet? Used to have a mother named Sarah who was blown away by a 
T-100 one day? (-:

    "In terms of growing the company...It would be difficult if Linux
    were to become a phenomenon on the desktop," Connors said in a
    Webcast from the Credit Suisse First Boston annual technology
    conference in Scottsdale, Ariz.

Cheers; Leon
