# IBM and Linux our biggest threats - Microsoft

## #1 — GunnarD, 2002-07-26T18:45Z

> Eric Rudder, senior vice president developer and platform evangelism, set the tone. "IBM is our greatest competitor. In the way they sell products and compete in corporate accounts," he said.
> 
> Paul Flessner, senior vice president .NET enterprise servers, called IBM and Linux a "formidable" challenge. "It's not just IBM alone, it's not just Linux alone," he said.
> 
> He said it had been a tough year for server companies. "The number that scares me the most, is that the number of servers shipped \[this year\] was down," he said.
