“Right, wrong, or otherwise I don’t generally trust Microsoft’s motives nor business practices in general, and particularly in regards to Linux.”

Same here, if they think they can steal it and make it theirs they would indeed try. The thing I am having trouble understanding though is the Gnome connection in this.

Thank you both for the replies... :)

Meh, if gnome gets tangled up no real issue for me - I like KDE better. :-O. Well xfce isn’t bad either.... Seriously though, I don’t get the gnome thing .Maybe they are running afoul of some stupid patent. I really don’t want to see a bad precedent set. Unscrupulous companies with trash patents shaking down the FOSS community.
