It's the very fact that this appears insoluble to me that helps me realize that MS has put tremendous, careful thought into it. To make the [internet] Linux-hostile, MS is taking dramatic steps to make it GPL-hostile. Very clever and admirably diabolical.
what exactly does that mean? it doesn't make sense to me. "to make the internet linux-hostile, MS is taking dramatic steps to make it GPL-hostile"...what exactly does that mean? how do they plan on accomplishing that? it sounds like a bunch of BS to me.

i've been using linux exclusively on all 5 of my machines for 2 years now and LOVE it. free software is the shit. little does everyone know, there is free software out there that is alternatives for everything yall are using now. not only are they free, but very well written also. learn linux, and thus stop bitching about MS...=)

the linux community is too strong now...IBM invests billions of dollars a year in promoting linux technology. many companies do. linux is fast growing beyond a bunch of spare time hackers. it has the financial backing of many huge companies now...as well as professional developers from those companies working to improve it and bring it up to speed with todays expensive commercial operating systems.

long live linux...a computer scientist's and computer programmers's operating system! =)
