I know you were probably being sarcastic with your "everybody wins" statement, but that isn't too far from the truth. And, actually, as other companies fail to switch to [insert excellent but not widely adopted technology here], that becomes the competitive advantage of companies who have switched. So, in a sense, you could encorage folks to adopt an inferior technology to boost your own competitive advantage.
I think it's pretty obvious, though, that MS considers Linux a very real danger to their market stronghold. They are afraid.
