OSDL CEO: Microsoft Has to Accept Linux

PenguinCandidate writes "The OSDL's Stuart Cohen has been in the news lately following a clandestine meeting with Microsoft about a dubiously independent TCO study; a study that has since been rejected by the OSDL. The idea of an independent Windows/Linux TCO comparison may be dead, but did Cohen have an additional card up his sleeve? In this interview, Cohen states that while he "awaits the reply from MS's Martin Taylor on the results of his internal investigation" into how an off-the-record meeting became public, he will continue to promote his belief that MS will eventually have to accept Linux as customer demand increases."

    What I find totally astonishing is that the USA is unable to air drop 200,000 MREs a day into New Orleans and surrounding area. That is what is needed to keep the people alive and they are absolutely unable to do it. People are dying on the sidewalks, dying in the hospitals, dying in the highrise buildings, from a lack of food and water. Sending in more guard troops to stand around and look at the water is useless, they have to air drop supplies and the almighty USA simply can't do it...
