| I think it would be great if microsoft made their own linux
distribution. Maybe linux could turn into a real OS

| No thanks. They'd f**k it up. Besides, I like having a system that
stay's up for ever-and-a-year (except when the power goes out ) with out a
reboot, or a BSOD. The most I've ever gotten out of my Win2k machine
@work is two weeks.
2$ uptime
10:50pm up 64 days, 5:59, 0 users, load average: 0.13, 0.15, 0.14

LOL....
UNIX is a mature, technically superior group of operating systems
with a proven track record for performance, reliability, and
security in a server environment. The almost thirty years of
continual development, performed often by volunteers who believe in
what they're doing, has produced a group of operating systems--and
extremely powerful multiprocessor server hardware tailor-made to its
needs, whose performance is still unparalleled by Intel
hardware--that not only meets the demands of today's computing
needs, but in many cases exceeds them.

| To start with Microsoft will struggle to spell Linux - let alone building
a distribution of it.
Even in the remotes likelyhood that they do publish a distribution, it
should not be allowed to ship to consumers without a clear health warning
on packaging!
