Have you seen this new bit yet? (found it hours ago)
Windows Explorer in Opensuse Installer

I don't know if it's fake (I've asked) and I don't really believe in
the "Microsoft Linux" theory (although it's presented for the possibilities of
it).

That sounds just about right. I gave the BBC another piece of people's mind in
a new comment. They can run, but they can't hide (just as [H]omer would say).
They left too many fingerprints.
You forgot to mention Microsoft briberies in Nigeria by the way. That's recent.
There are also the closure of Microsoft for corruption and inside-trading at a
large scale.
Microsoft calls all of this business, but the business of a criminal
organisation is crime nonetheless, not business in the proper sense.
