Since lots of article and news regarding Linux (or trend of Open Source)
crisscrossing on the internet.
Microsoft still remain (maybe ? I don't know !) to own the proprietary.
There is Sun Linux, Linux at IBM, Oracle's Linux, ..... how about Microsoft
Linux ?

What will you think if Microsoft take part in Linux to against trend of
Linux and Open source ?


Cheers,

If I were Microsoft (of which I am neither), I would develop 
and freely distribute the best open code Linux (OS) Distro 
anywhere. Then I would 'sell' the (often excellent) binary only 
M$ apps to run on it.  Why?  Because otherwise the only escape
from a pyramid full of dos-bone mummies will be to find a sucker
to buy the whole mess before it all comes down.
