other x86-compatible OSes. CEO Steve Ballmer is rumored to have met with Red
Hat CEO Matthew Szulick. The software giant has even hired a number of

installed among its corporate clients, Microsoft has chosen to accommodate it
rather than ignore it. Indeed, the company has no choice. News.com's Martin
