Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux?
scrm writes "The next version of Windows should be built on top of Linux, according to this article by Robert Cringely of PBS." If Microsoft wanted to, they could be the world's largest vendor of Free software .. couldn't they?
That's about as likely as Jack Valenti saying, "We actually don't need copyrights to last this long," or Duke Nukem Forever being released.

If anyone could ruin the stability of Linux.....it would be Microsoft.
peace be with you.
Will Linus accept the BSOD patch for the kernel?
MicroSoft could say "Hey, look at how often Linux crashes now!"
You mean, like OS X?
No, he means like Lindows.
specifically, what a premise.
Let me start thinking that way.
You can get to a root prompt in Linux. You can do so in BSD as well. Solaris, also.
Apparently, these are all actually the same thing - they're all running Linux, underneath it all. And because it's that simple, it's just marketing - since the product is free - Solaris is just hyping it up so that people will use CDE.
Lets go further. Also, you can find a brain inside every animal. Cats have brains.
So, deep down, we're all cats, right*?

"Should The Next Windows Be Built On Linux?"
No because I hate Microsoft and I refuse to see any good that could come from it.

;)
again, we think, who combines the awesomeness of *nix with the gui wikedness of XP? Oh yeah, apple!

That's because the misread it as the BSoD licence and thought it fitted their products perfectly.
