Is Microsoft Linux inevitable?

(1/3) > >>

Xeen:
I'm just wondering...do many people believe that some form of a Microsoft Linux is inevitable? Especially if Asia has its way and designs a great OS that's a competition to Microsoft?

If so, what do you think it will be called?
If not, why don't you think it will ever happen?

Maybe one day this will be real?

Unlikely. Microsoft wants total control on its products, and have tried to undermine open source for a very long time. They would certainly not release their products under the GPL; that would only make the situation worse for them.

wouldn't they chose BSD like apple did?  BSD has its own license doesn't it?  Well then again The GNU Package/Linux has their own license.  But isn't the BSD License more restrictive?
