Cube I think that you miss the point completely. Microsoft is not doing Linux development work. The only thing Microsoft is doing with Linux is figuring out how to stop it dead in its tracks. In order for MSFT to control the OS, they must control the core API's. Their business model is based on paranoia that the OS will become as ubiquitous and cheap as BIOS. You can bet that they are not interested in a open source, free OS. That is the day that MSFT ceases to have the competitive advantage, and thus the beginning of the end of MSFT as we know it. Such an event will not happen without a major fight.

Mr. Cube

What was that you said about? "you thought INPR was bad but now you know their worst" or something like that. Do you still want to see that 10-Q audit? Do you still believe Microsoff exist? Do you still believe your going to get INPR at a lower price?
