Open source has become so commonplace, about the only time that one sees press releases around it is when a company releases all or a significant chunk of its software under an open-source license. The other time is when a company new to open source releases code, and wants to …

In the case of Linux vs. Windows, anyway, Microsoft is neither superior nor cheaper. In its other products, too, it’s losing that argument.

But it’s really in deriding Google that Ballmer looks ridiculous. When asked about Google, he opines:

And you thought Oracle was already pricey…

In a demonstration of what can happen when a company consolidates the industry such that there’s far less competitive pressure on it, Oracle has significantly raised its prices. Many of its products saw a 15 to 20 percent price increase.
