I really think they will come out with a "MS Linux" (have thought this
for years). They will have to eventually, just like they finally had to
adopt the internet and TCP/IP when they saw the inevitable. They will
try to co-opt Linux and make their version proprietary, like they did
with Kerberos, DNS, Java, etc. etc. It will be interesting to see how
they deal with the GPL.
