I'm sure that this has been talked about before be since I've never seen it I'll ask.
Since Linux is a very good server OS and Microsoft needs a good server OS what would prevent Bill from releasing Microsoft-brand Linux?
They have the most wide spread applications, some decent games, and lots of money to throw around. I've seen MS "embrace and extinguish" before. So why not with this? MS E-Z Linux for the small business or for departmental servers. Windows 9x for the end user. And Win2K as the robust and stable enterprise platform.

So am I missing something here?
