Actually, I thought at first the goal of calling it program was to make it understandable to the audience of the article which, probably, was not supossed to be Slashdot readers.
Anyway, thanks for the tip!;)

"A program called Linux"
So now, the kernel of a lot of distributions is just a program...:S
About the people demanding add-ons, well you only have to hire someone to do it, or do they also want it for free? If they want it for free, then they'll have to wait until someone decides it would be nice to have such feature and develops it.
"final tier of reliability and predictability"
This does not have sense to me, what does that mean? which is the final tier? The forever-stable-operating-system? Well, I want one of those too! Seriously, it looks like a gratuitous statement.
"How quickly open-source programs can narrow the gap with commercial software"
It's that the only way? What will developers do when Open Source programs "fill the gap" with commercial software? They won't have anyone to follow, maybe it's better to follow one's path and imitate the good things of commercial software, but not by going one step after.
" customers can run Linux on less-expensive machines that use the x86 chip"
Does this mean they can reuse old computers instead of new ones? If so, then why they talk later about purchasing hardware? does that include the reuse of old computers? What about the BSD family? I believe many people says it's a good option for software also in x86 machines (though I never tried any BSD so I'm not sure about this)
"The operation is designed to help Microsoft better understand the competition and make its products work better with Linux."
Just one example

I don't understand why do you need a completely new OS, It would split blind/deaf people a bit more. They would not share their programs/documents with the rest of the world, just between blind/deaf people and a few more that have access to that OS. You should keep triyng to modify the known OS's instead of creating a new one
AFAIK (and that's not much) energy is something needed to "have potential", or,in other words, to do work.
Moving something is a kind of work.
How do I move the entire fabric of space with some "exotic matter" that has energy in debt?
Also, if I am unable to measure the amount of energy or potential that I have (or that any other thing has), how do I recognize something that has negative energy?
do they have programers? I mean, they can read open source applications code, it's there for anyone to read, so why do they want the meeting for? to make developers follow their standards? They can take a look and write some code to make interoperability work or (as said by someone some comments befor) free some of their work under an open license and someone will care to make the interoperability.
Really, I don't get it, but maybe there is something I'm missing...

I can see my IP from here!!
