Well looks like us linux users can look forward to some of the instabilities of windows in our Own Operating Systems.

<br>
While this isn&#39;t 100% Fedora related, being such fans of upstream that<br>
we are, we can definitely go somewhere with this. You&#39;ve probably seen<br>
in the news by now that Microsoft is making a pretty substantial<br>
contribution to the Linux kernel.<br>

The way i see it, is that we can do one or more of several things<br>
based on this. Of course we can continue talking about upstream as a<br>
path to success, but i&#39;m wondering, being no marketing expert myself,<br>
what else can we do with such a message? Is this a message we can try<br>
to take around to various different people and push extensively as<br>
proof that the system works? Is this even something we can take to<br>
mainstream media even though we&#39;re so fond of staying out of it for<br>
the very minimal real effect we have? Or do we ignore it because it&#39;s<br>
not Fedora?<br>
<br>
