The major point I got from the article was M$ was recruiting Linux hacks, then shuffling them over to the Unix side of the operation. It's not like M$ never was involved with Unix any way, ala Xenix. Another article which is perhaps more telling is IDG moving the Linux developers conference to larger spaces while cancelling the Win2K conference due to lack of interest. I think M$ has finally reached the point of being the IBM from the 80s.
