Microsoft Was Distributing Ubuntu Linux

ausage writes "Groklaw has noted that for the last few days, Microsoft has been distributing Unbuntu Desktop Linux from the Windows Marketplace Website. The page is gone now, but can still — as of this morning — be seen using Google cache. 'Heaven only knows that's true, simply perfect for laptops, desktops and servers. The part Microsoft got wrong is it says the license is "Free" and "No limitations". Actually, the GPL does set some limitations, like what you are responsible to do if you redistribute.'"

Is it getting cold?

Brrr! It's getting chilly in Hell nowadays.

Dell involved?

I wonder if Dell was involved in some way. Maybe some contractual obligation to provide support for systems Dell ships in order to maintain their license fees, blah blah blah...
