So, he was trying to sound conciliatory. But, of course, what really matters is that we make that quote less and less accurate as we move on :) A friend wants me to add the context:

But it's hard to isolate anything but the main line that could be taken as positive :) Plus, hacking a dystopian song to pieces for a mantra seems kinda like something creepy you'd hear at a corporate rally. Maybe Jeff could just use the outro ("10 in / 10 in / 10 in tweeeen-tyyyyyy-ten!") to end the last status update talk before GUADEC 2010? @Ploum

BTW, there are more users of open software than OS-X. There just not store bought boxed versions because duh, Ubuntu is free. In fact, a very hugh population of ubuntu desktop users alone, is deeply cutting Microsoft to the quick. People stay stupid just so long and then change overcomes them. :) Translation: Ubuntu is eating their lunch and the have to be open about their anti-competiviness against it.
