fucking M$ and this fucking Xen company... the very fact that they're "cooperating" and not buying out is evidence enough that they're spreading propaganda. They're trying to tie their name in with Linux now apparantly... hey look we're cool with the good guys so we're good too oy
The efforts mark a thawing between Microsoft, the world's largest software maker, and the companies and developers that back the free Linux operating system.
-me vomitting all over myself-
This is obviously a ploy.

This is obviously a ploy.
I think so too ... M$ is too evil to be doing something good ... but I suppose it may help a bit, intercompatibility is in general very important.
-
Well then they would've been opting in on the whole Oo.org intercompatibility issue. If compatibility is their goal then they aren't very focused...
-
Yeah, that's true ... well then it's gotta be a ploy. I think they may be trying to appear as if they are the universally compatible OS. Everything that works on Window$ works everywhere. Maybe they'll try to market their BS products to Linux users. Like their stupid, special PDF viewer that can only be used on Window$, maybe they'll try to sell it to Linux users for a price.

Maybe it's getting to a stage that playing evil with GNU/Linux (FUD campaigns etc.) isn't being profitable for MS... That is all they give a shit about, like basically all businesses.
Meh, not yet I suppose.
