Microsoft doesnt like open source

Sure Microsoft doesn't like Linux or Unix and it wants to ban from PC's having windows OS. Microsoft is surely jealous of open source as it will be a threat to Microsoft's existence in near future, maybe 5-6 years. Open source is such a thing which wont get outdated till its says. The problem with windows is that it will stay for few years and then you again need something better as it would get outdated. So the cycle of keep spending money continues. while once you get Linux, there is no need to update and its useful life time. Also Linux doesn't get infected with viruses as windows get. I really love Linux but many software's don't support it and that's why i am not using it.
