Microsoft fighting Linux

[fab]

I just saw this:

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - Supporters of the free PC operating system Linux are preparing to counter a recent Microsoft Corp. (MSFT.O: Quote, Profile, Research) deal which established for the first time the principle of paying the software giant to use Linux.

Microsoft signed a deal with Novell Inc. (NOVL.O: Quote, Profile, Research), one of the providers of Linux, in which Novell paid a lump sum in return for a guarantee that Microsoft would not sue Novell's clients for what it calls a violation of its own patents in the Linux program.

Microsoft Agreement with Novell

They're unbelievable!

I don't use Linux, but that is unfortunate to hear regardless. I am still a Microsoft fan however and this will not stop me from getting Vista when it comes out! :-D

Yes...typical Microsoft BS.

I love using Linux and PHP for webhosting. I hope it all works out for them.

For those remember some history,Microsoft and Apple "borrowed"
windows and mouse from Xerox research centers in Palo Alto.
To be precise Apple first "borowed" and then they demonstrate their first production item to Bill.
Bill made 3.1.There is a movie based in real facts in the video clubs describing all this story, very informative.

So who is charging who for.........what!
