A Microsoft Windows / Linux Conspiracy Theory
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft realized with XP that the NT kernel’s days were numbered, which is
| why they talked of the complete rewrite that was to be Longhorn / Vista (and
| be wonderful and ship in 2003, etc). Well with all of the efforts that went
| into that, and Vista basically becoming what would’ve happened to Apple if it
| truly had shipped Copland, Microsoft finds itself in a bind. Obviously they
| need to support the product they shipped, which is where SP1 and its
| successors come in. However, I think we’ll see some behind the scenes action
| regarding their fight against OSF and the Linux folks and we’ll see how this
| evolves into the next version of Windows.

Is it the Beginning of the End for Microsoft?

| Linux is a very strong alternative to Windows. Not only is it free to use,
| but it also is supported by free software.
