Indeed.  Presumably Microsoft wants to take Linux apart
and turn it into a profit-making opportunity, either using
Linux outright, or by somehow finding a weakness in Linux
that they can then exploit in the marketing realm.

Some may consider this evil but I suspect it's par for
the course, and in Linux's case Linux has no defenses,
being open source; anybody can read it.

Even Microsoft.  :-)
