Dear Santa,

For Christmas I would like Microsoft to go out of business. I don't know how - I haven't thought it through. I'd just like it to curl up and die. If that's too much to ask for I'll take world peace.

Thank you.

Love,

Chris

Sorry to disappoint, Chris, Microsoft will never die. They will, however, be humbled. It will be a slow and agonizing process, with much wailing and moaning. There will be casualties, as the monsters limbs lash out, but most people will not notice. They will be too happy playing with lovingly crafted open source applications and a real OS. If they're real nice, we'll let them park cars outside the party. -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
