By the way, I used to like to see him on the old TechTV. I miss the way he chewed people up on tech issues.

&gt;Dvorak missed the ball. M$ has no intention of bringing out a M$-Linux
&gt;offering. Ever. Hell would have ice skaters for a century before it happens.
&gt;
&gt;What the purchase of Vintela does is give M$ another tool to use to squash
&gt;Linux. By shutting down the Linux aspect of the cross platform nature of
&gt;Vintela, Microsoft can further extend their grasp on the business desktop.
&gt;Vintela is a direct threat by offering products and services that can make
&gt;code for one platform work on all platforms. M$ does not see Apple nor Sun
&gt;as any threat at all. So cross-platform development for those platforms is
&gt;very safe and likely a business builder.
