Lovely pun, with apologies to Virgil. The original line occurs in Book
II of the Aeneid. It is a a warning made by Lacoön, a prominent Trojan:
Equo ne credite Teucri.
Quidquid id est, timeo Danaos, et dona ferentes.
Do not trust the horse, Trojans.
Whatever it is, I fear the Greeks bearing gifts.
Right after he gave the warning the sea god Poseidon sent two sea
serpents ashore who promptly squeezed to death Lacoön and his two sons.
The Trojans consequently determined the warning to be false and so towed
the horse into the city. The rest is history.
So, what calamity will befall those who warn us against believing the
entry into "main" of Microsoft OSes, so that the rest of us will believe
it to be true. Believing it would be good for Microsoft, as it will
allow it to maintain its quasi-monopoly. What's good for Microsoft is
good for the world.
