Sun could sue Linus and demand he packages a new version of Java with every kernel.

volunteer effort could oblige Microsoft to work with Linux
In other news, nVidia will be helping ATI develop the latest Raedon drivers, and Apple will release OS X for the PC. Also, the XBOX will now offically ship modded to work with XBOX Linux, and will even include a bootable Linux CD. Yeah... right... ;)

Microsoft declined to make a spokesman available but issued a statement saying it supports open standards.

In the end Microsoft will still weild terrible power. Microsoft will continue to spread across the lands of Earth, engulfing small and large business alike, admin and developer, open and closed source. The only way to find peace is to toss Bill Gates into the fires of Mount Doom.
