It's called *gasp* CAPITALISM! Aside from a few issues (Online activation, IE monopoly) I really don't see the problem with Microsoft. Yeah Bill Gates makes billions of dollars. He donates more money to charity than any one person in the world every year. Capitalism, like it or leave it. We're not communists;) I'd way rather have the courts make an example of SCO. Those bastards.
Interesting. Now, I'm still wondering how stuff like scheduling is handled. I can imagine this being a deadlock nightmare. Having two schedulers working in unison sounds extremely complicated or extremely buggy. I might take a look at the code.
I mean the crap that they sell. Viagra that may or may not actually make it to your doorstep, penis enlargement devices, pyramid schemes.... You know, crap.
I'd be interested to know the technical aspect of this 'program'. The article is pretty vague on what exactly it does. I wonder how windows handles it, like as a separate process or group of processes, what kind of filesystem it uses, whether it's emulated or not, and how in god's name he got linux kernel code such as virtual memory management and scheduling to work within the windows environment. Very interesting.
Unfortunately I really don't see anything new or original in this idea. Until they start prosecuting these morons, we're not going to have a viable solution. By morons I mean the people that are BUYING this crap, rather than sending it;)

Good point. Because I'm a new slashdot registered user, I don't know how America works. Brilliant.

Just what people need, a TV on the roadside.... I think the real question is how long before they start showing Survivor on them ;)
