Microsoft Warms Up to Linux
prostoalex writes "InfoWorld reports that despite warming to the OS, Microsoft won't be releasing its own distribution of Linux any time soon. From the article: "Hilf acknowledged that Microsoft's commitment to Windows does not preclude the company from continuing a strategy he has led in his 19 months at the software vendor: To see how Microsoft's proprietary technologies can better interoperate with Linux and a host of other open-source software. In fact, that is exactly what will be the focus of a discussion the long-time open-source proponent will lead at this year's upcoming Linuxworld Conference & Expo next month in San Francisco. In a session entitled, 'Managing Linux in a Mixed Environment ... at Microsoft?' Hilf, who polished his open-source evangelism skills working on Linux deployments at IBM Corp., will talk about how he and the team at the Linux/Open Source lab run open source technologies in "the most Microsoft-centric IT environment on the planet." "

You know, when this will be real, that the end is near! Beware! That means that this guy in the subway was right. Maybe he knows more about Microsoft than us.
Twat? I cunt hear you! I have an ear infucktion!
Is it wrong to want to change "Hilf" to MILF? Suddenly the article then becomes something that I want to read more about.
I let it go, but it proved to me that the reps will either run with misinformation or outright lie if they feel it will help their case.
You're one to talk, you've done exactly the same thing.
