I caught your comment and link to the InformationWeek article:
"Microsoft currently collects royalties from some companies that use
Linux in their computing environments, Gutierrez said. However, he
declined to indicate the number, the dollar amount Microsoft receives
from those payments, or identify any of the companies by name."

Absolutely outrageous!!!
Who are these saps who pay Microsoft for the "privilege" of using Linux?
