Along Quotes
Microsoft has been claiming all along that Linux would become a real competitor to Microsoft's operating system. If you stretch this out long enough, who knows, they could be right.

If you stretch this out a year, two years, that could happen.

Bigger Quotes
Microsoft had a big part in yesterday's Nasdaq decline, ...

Case Quotes
Microsoft doesn't respect the antitrust laws, and it has amply demonstrated that it can't be trusted. The company has shown its contempt for any court-imposed changes in its conduct.
