First off...M$ *can't* make M$Linux, because then, we'd all be able to look at M$' code. M$ would rather implode and become a black hole, than let anyone other than their cubicle mushrooms (M$' programmers) know it or see it, and hell...I bet they watch those guys so close they have no lives. Next, if M$ even *tried* something like this, all the people around the world now who are the makers and shakers for all the apps and kernel of Linux, would stop contributing. Then M$ would be back in the same exact situation it's in now...making an OS that wouldn't work correctly if it was easier to reinstall the thing once a day. All the folks who wrote linux apps and worked on the kernel, would go underground and create something 'different' and it'd start all over again like Linux did. Also, once all the people who made the apps and kernel and stuff for linux 'stopped', it'd be more noticeable than when the 'slammer' worm hit...M$' Linux would come to a screeching halt, because M$' programmers who didn't have a clue before and still don't wouldn't be able to take up *any* of the slack, and the customers who didn't know any better that they didn't have to pay for such an OS because it's GPL'd but *did* pay, would actually finally start to grow brains and cods and get up off their lazy asses and kick the snot out of their shepherds Steve and Bill. Yeah, M$ would really try this, uh huh, right. What's kept them from doing it already? The fact that just what I say would happen is what keeps them from even contemplating it. Who the heck *is* that writer anyway? Is he an M$ paid flunky who's even farther behind on knowing when an April fools joke is supposed to happen than the guys at MSN UK? John - -- I needed fresh bugs for my SuSE gecko, and Linux penguin. So I went out and caught this huge ugly blue and red and green and yellow butterfly. They won't need fresh food for 3 months now. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+5R86H5oDXyLKXKQRAoFdAJ9CjLTJREW6LSwrNjhJggnygBf4ugCaAnzK iAPRDIXpHx7GdqgAV8e1bnA= =/CqS -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
