keep them away. they will kill linux from within.

remember their earlier alliance with ibm on NT and then with sybase for sql server

in both cases they killed the host product.

I have moved to linux after win-xp

don't want to deal with crooked MS again.

They are using Linux in the cloud. Not on the client.

[[Microsoft’s Linux love affair leads it to join The Linux Foundation]]

That’s the beginning of the end for Linux.
They need to kick them out .

I got an email from MS about SWL server for Linux preview. Not sure if it’s worth the trouble to download.
