Going back now to as early as 1998, Microsoft starts to
realize that Linux might pose a possible threat, and Vinod
Valloppillil, who is a program manager at Microsoft, is asked by Mr.
Allchin, Jim Allchin, to analyze potential strategies for combatting
open-source software, and specifically Linux.
His memos are leaked to the press in April -- I beg your pardon -- in October of 1998 and become known as the Halloween documents.
And the evidence will be that Microsoft uses its influence in the OEM
channel, the computer manufacture channel, to make sure that end users
have a difficult time buying PCs with Linux preinstalled.
