Is Linux made by Microsoft or Apple?

Could it be that recent Microsoft actions have something to do with this.....?

I want one I can dual boot. At least until I decide whether to keep it or not.
Tried Knoppix off a CD and was underwhelmed. It wouldn't save any of my preferences.

Is there one I can run off a flash drive?

I recently switched to Fedora and couldn't be happier. Not sure why they didn't evaluate it; maybe it's not quite beginner-friendly enough.

..the Test Center narrowed the field to three channel-friendly players: Linspire, San Diego; Novell, Waltham, Mass.; and Xandros, Ottawa, and their respective products: Linspire Five-0, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop 10 (SLED 10) and Xandros Business Desktop Linux.
