You don't think this is a bad idea? Did you read about the trouble they were
having? Would they just use wine like IBM used in Web-builder or what used
to be toppage?
Or really just take and distribute a "Microsoft" version of linux with their
typical embrace and extend modus operandi.
 It would solve a lot of their problems, they keep their hold on the
desktop, they keep their hold on the office suites, and they can dictate on
their own terms how and where Microsoft brand Linux goes.
Think the Sun Staroffice decision to go open source had anything to do with
this FUD announcement?
