Microsoft don't see Unix as a threat. They see Linux as a threat (apparently). There may not be a huge difference, but there is a difference.

We have 3 or 4 Unix servers at work. The 2 or 3 Unix versions used on these servers were nowhere near being free, and I don't believe Microsoft has ever seen Unix as a threat, and as far as I'm aware they've been working alongside Unix platforms for years.

I thought this thread was about Unix, not Linux... they're not just spelled differently :p
