I don’t know, I kind of believe it’s true. Because how else could linux suck so bad if it weren’t a stripped down clone of Windows?
Just take everything that sucks about Windows and magnify it 20 to 30 times and you have linux!

Hmmm, I wonder if Microsoft is going to try to get Google (who can probably raise more cash than MS) to give their vast Linux based server farms.
Lawyers all around must be salivating at the possible retainers and billable hours.

You raise the spectre of a very sticky wicket.
It will present some major court battles

Microsoft needs to concentrate on what it does best : writing operating systems that tattle home to Redmond if it thinks you’re doing something shady.

Sounds like Microsoft isn’t worried at all. Bet they can prove code for code processes.

Sounds like Microsoft isn’t worried at all. Litigation is the last refuge of the worried. This is gonna be just like the SCO case(s).
