In a question-and-answer session after his keynote speech at the Professional Association for SQL Server (PASS) conference in Seattle last Thursday, [Steve] Ballmer said"Linux[™]"uses our [Microsoft Corp.] intellectual property" and"Microsoft Corp. wanted to"get the appropriate economic return for our shareholders from our innovation."
