Proof that if you can't beat 'em, join em. 

This is by far the best quote by Steve BALLmer.  It's the best because 
he has done a complete 180 -  going from absolute derision / hatred of 
Linux to claiming 'They said it couldn't be done'...

"They said it couldn't be done. This is a new model and a true evolution 
of our relationship that we think customers will immediately find 
compelling, because it delivers practical value by bringing two of their 
most important platform investments closer together," Ballmer added. 
"We're excited to work with Novell, whose strengths include its heritage 
as a mixed-source company. Resolving our patent issues enables a 
combined focus on virtualization and Web services management to create 
new opportunities for our companies and our customers."

Surely the end of the world is upon us.
