Microsoft is warning that the success of the open-source movement could
hurt its sales, potentially forcing the software giant to cut prices and
sacrifice both revenue and profits.

"To the extent the open-source model gains increasing market acceptance,

the prices it charges for its products, and revenues and operating margins
may consequently decline," Microsoft said in a filing last week with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
