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."

Who cares?

Ok, so windows accepted linux...it means nothing. I've tried to use slackware, wasn't noob friendly and right now i don't have time to learn. but i completely support it. Linux could make a windows by making it look shiny and be user friendly(i say this not looking at all the distros out there). Windows will continue to be on top for a bit since it's trusted(which is stupid IMHO). In the end, who cares?
