Dear all,
In midst of the Microsoft Linux deals, Novell, Xandros, Linspire, ..., etc. The question arises will Red Hat fall into Microsoft's deals?

Interesting. Maybe MS is looking to merge their platform into a Linux platform following Mac OS X using BSD as their launching platform. Will we eventually see MS Linux where it will be running Linux under the hood, but with a MS look, feel, and compatibility? MS would be able to step away from some of the underlining OS challenges leaving that to the Linux community and concentrate on putting a MS face on it. It was suggested at one point that Vista will be MS' last OS. Don't know what was meant by that. Maybe this is what was being suggested or foreseen...

Or M$ is just gathering momentum for their FUD.

Try MS Linux:
It comes with such new innovations as MSNd, Scand, Crapd and GUILT, and is licensed under the GPL (Gates Private License).
;)

The really sad pants part of this is that a lot people believe that you can download/buy mslinux also :) I was for a while flooded with requests about this site from clients wondering if I could bring over a copy and how much the license was, it was hard keeping a straight face in front of the client while i was trying to tell them that the site is a just a joke :)

Hey, how far-fetched is it, really?
Apple now sports a *nix kernel running in an Intel processor. Novel and SuSE have merged. Emulators have Linux running in Windows and Windows running in Linux. It's basically dogs and cats sleeping together (well, you know..).
From the perspective of Average Joe, who already believes that Iraq was
involved in 9/11, how wild an idea is it to believe that MS has yet again stolen and/or adopted superior technology to advance their own cause?
It's not rocket science out there. But we're *Certainly* not dealing with rocket scientists to begin with.
For what it's worth, if it really did happen, I'd go back to pencil and paper, and learn to use an abacus.

Learn to use one anyway. I keep an abacus on a shelf beside my computer to do binary arithmetic with. It's great for binary stuff -- I can do that sort of calculation faster on my abacus than I can do them on paper or by trying to figure them out on the computer. Plus I can visualize the working of the operations and see if I'm going off of the rails.
I used to have a tiny little 10-wire abacus that came with a "how to use an abacus" book, but now I have a real nice 13-wire Chinese abacus and I wouldn't give it up.
