Then they could advertise: "".....the security of linux with the familiarity of Windows", like "have your cake and eat it too". OR...."Virus-proof multi-user Windows".
True enough, but in 2 or 3 development cycles they'ld screw that up considering their cut and paste coding style. I could see M$ taking a real beating if this was to happen. I mean think about it. M$ jumps on the OSS bandwagon and attempts to dominate. Virus writers figure out how to get the virus to execute in IE or whatever. So, the OS remains stable (or somewhat so) and everything in userland that's M$ gets infected. Or even worse, you use something like WebMin in IE and IE gets a bug and then some creative chap gains access to your Webmin controls - but this only happens in M$Linux because their native programs are flawed and this is used to gain root access. Hmmmm! That would kinda prove how inherently flawed M$ is. I mean to have the first and only version of Linux that gets kludge by a VB.net virus. I'm wagering they know this and won't go to Linux becuase of this, but then again..... Cheers, Curtis.
