<i>For open source to win, we do not need Microsoft, Apple or proprietary software to lose.</i> Hrm. Actually we need Microsoft to lose. A lot of things. We need them to lose the embrace, extend, extinguish attitude. We need them to lose the criminal abuse of monopoly tendencies. And we need them to lose the creepy unspecified claims of Linux infringing their software patents. Alternatively if we dont actually believe Microsoft, the coorporation, will change behavior - then we need them to lose the dominant position that they abuse to hurt competitors and Free Software.
