Well to be honest I never liked Michael and how he ripped off Linux.
His closed distribution was not at all how this was supposed to work.
It's fine for him to make his own distro and so on, but he closed it all
off. Personally my only concern is the bad reputation he could place on the
Linux community. If he goes out of business I would not give it another
thought. The fact that he went up against MS and lost is too bad, windows
is a generic name and should not be defendable but that's another story.
The opening up of his distro only came after our attorneys forced him to.
