I don't even want to see the lawsuit that is coming to the author of this!

Actually, M$ is foolish not to release a version of Linux -- for several
reasons:

1. There is no way they will ever be able to fix Windows well enough to
meet
the terms of his recent pontifications.

2. He could steal the benefits of all of the hard work of Linux folks by
merely
outspending them on marketing -- buying up Stormix, Progeny, or a still-on-
the-market version of Linux would enable him to bring a product to market
within a year at a fraction of the cost of rewriting Windows.

3. He could so confuse most consumers that he could stall the spread of
much
of the rest of the Linux distros for quite a while, causing more of them to
fail.

Sure hope he doesn't read this ... doc
