Microsoft Linux: Why one free software advocate wants it
Ex-Microsoftie says that Windows 7 is doomed and Linux, free software, will ultimately dominate.
A lot of open source advocates like to rage against the machine at Microsoft, but when a former Microsoft Research employee says that Windows 7 won't stop Linux from market domination, that's an opinion to note. Keith Curtis, author of the book After the Software Wars, says just that. But he goes further. He thinks Microsoft and its customers would be better off if the company ditched Windows and instead built its own version of the Linux operating system.

As an odd note of historical interest, Microsoft used to sell Unix under the brand Xenix.
Just remembered, when MS lost interest in Unix, they transferred their license to none other than SCO, which has not faired so well as of late. Thankfully.
Ok, to be technically correct, the most recent SCO was not that SCO. That SCO was SCO which sold to Caldera, which changed name to Tarantella, and then Caldera became SCO, and that is the SCO that died recently.
Any questions?
