Handle With Linux

"As Microsoft allowed people to take an early version of Windows 7 out for a test ride, the "-Killer" suffix re-emerged. It's not an "OS X-Killer." It's a "Linux-Killer." I'm sure this is due in large part to the robust netbook market and Apple's absence there. It's interesting that suddenly Linux is seen as competition. It's also intriguing that this is portrayed as the nail in the coffin, and not an opportunity."
