It's time for the Windows and Linux communities to drop the religious war and get together in a hurry to put the strengths of each operating system to best use, according to a nationally recognized authority on Windows Server. At the same time, Microsoft has been reaching out to the open-source community to try to find ways to overcome the incompatibilities between software distributed under the GNU General Public License and its own commercial software.

3) Build an OS on top of a third party kernel like BSD.
4) Continue competing with their existing product line.
Windows isn't hurting yet, I suspect actual figures would show it to be the number 1 OS sold as OEM or otherwise in most of the big markets outside of Asia. As for Asia itself, they seem to have a hadfull of Linux distributions there, and I have no real idea what the market is like there either so I won't go as far as to assume MS has a foothold within their borders.

This is not exactly correct.
The *nix world is highly standardized. The problem is merely all the standards.
And not all in the *nix world think Microsoft sucks. It would perhaps be more correct if you had written they think Windows sucks.
