it's pure marketing and it makes me angry. my girlfriend showed this story to me in yesterday's paper, interestingly the article was gushing about how wonderful microsoft were going to bring a new dimension to computing blah blah blah and then at the end they had some guy from a linux user group quoted saying it was all a load of FUD and they were too late to pull the wool over anybody's eyes.
edit: and i would want front row tickets if microsoft ever tried to buy out linux, how could they? i bet they have been trying to think of a way for years!
