Was M$ dropping Xenix tied to a court ordered divestiture? With this (Interix), M$ gets POSIX? Reading some of the comments, I come away with there being speculation that M$ is buying it to sit on the Win32 'porting' technology, or are themselves porting free software back to Win32? slashdot.org I'm trying to picture a M$ 'remedy' that does not have them documenting their APIs. That is, it seems like a likely (although litigated) outcome to me. I'm speculating that M$ might be wanting to get out in front of that? It seems like it boils down to branding between M$ and the rest of the world, and the rest of the world has the better brand nowadays. Just thinking outloud. -JCJ
