Reading Stutz's message leaves me most confused about what he is really saying. I get the impression that he is not objecting to Microsoft's traditional practice of destroying potential competion with dirty tricks, but that he is objecting to their failure to figure out how to destroy open source.

I think he is unequivocally saying that open source is not going to be destroyed by any means. His point is that Microsoft is not making the transition, and until they change their strategy they will miss the opportunities.

The next great market is one that Stutz characterizes as "Useful software written above the level of the single device." This is the market that BEA is well on its way to locking up with J2EE, and that Microsoft had a bold vision for with .Net, but is afraid to embrace fully (competing fairly), instead hanging on to too much of its Windows heritage.
