I was reading http://news.cnet.com/8301-13846_3-10346669-62.html
Its really funny believe me. I think Microsoft believe that they invented the PC.
Like really who are Microsoft to
A. define what consumers define a PC as
B. judge linux

FUD angers me. Down right lies anger me more.
A month ago I thought that Microsoft’s strategy was beginning to change but they have gone back to their old tune of complete BS.

Microsoft Linux source addition

Interesting the past few days in the Microsoft camp. First the community promise and now they submit source to the linux kernel.
I think the question to ask is “Why are they taking this new stance?”.
I remember reading the Halloween documents and all about how they planned on tackling Free Software through FUD (Fear, uncertainty and doubt). Recent events have seen a major shift in policy.
Dont get me wrong I think its not a bad thing and the fact that the addition of the source code to the linux kernel is licensed under GPL. Im still left thinking “Why?”.
Of course it adds support for a Microsoft product (Hyper-V hypervisor technology) but really they havent been all that helpful before why now?
Its very confusing but it good that they are helping out and in a way supporting GPL.
