Windows In A Linux World
I went to our local Linux User Group meeting tonight and the guest speaker
was a Microsoft representative talking about Unix Services on Windows.
Basically, Microsoft is pretending that they are involved in the open-source
movement by making tools that allow you run Linux virtual machines under
Windows and allowing a select few corporations have a peek at some of
their source code... but everything was restricted and geared toward having Windows
control it all. Everything is made with the sense that the user will
want to migrate completely to Windows eventually. He handed out 10
free copies of Windows 2003 Server. "Hey kid, first one's free!" (thanks, but no thanks)
