Not so much anti-US; it's just that since MS isn't a European entity 
they don't get the warm fuzzies about them that many US corporations 
do.  In fact, you could make the argument that they get the warm 
fuzzies about Linux because it's got Norwegian roots.  Personally I 
think there's a lot more to it than that.  They are in it to make 
profit too, and not play politics; fact is that Linux is cheaper, 
more reliable, and more flexible than Windows is.  Linux is more 
community oriented, as is Europe compared to the US.
