XPero Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 If this "MS Linux" project becomes a reality, will you use it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 Giving the extremely unlikely case that this will ever happen I would most definitly give it a try! ... Not because I like the idea, but because my inner geek dictates me to try something as odd as this ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matrix0978 Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 yeah i would also give it a try. I have to much time on my hands it will take some off. But the idea just seems a little odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtremeMaC Posted February 27, 2005 Share Posted February 27, 2005 well just for driver problems i'd think they'd be dreaming. ppl would still go for windows, i don't think many ppl even know linux exist and they don't know that its not good at drivers... so windows for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robchurch Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 The only reason a decent, upstanding company like Microsoft would purchase Linux is to force it off the shelves. Windows is far more reliable, far easier to use, much more compatible and far more secure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teradisgrup Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 far more secure / purchase Linux / more reliablewhat you are talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amp_man Posted March 23, 2005 Share Posted March 23, 2005 I'm wondering the same thing. If microsoft wanted to use linux and create a new distro, they could, entirely for free, however, I think the linux gpl prevents them from selling this (but they can sell the tech support to go along with it, this is what redhat does, or sell the CDs or community membership like mandrake) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
army20 Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'm all lost in linux Never really took the time to learn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravashaak Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 The only reason a decent, upstanding company like Microsoft would purchase Linux is to force it off the shelves.MS couldn't just *purchase* Linux. It's not owned by a corporation or individual like proprietary operating systems. It's basically public domain, with a GPL license. Now, they *could* make their own distribution, but I still consider this highly unlikely. - Ravashaak Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonu27 Posted June 21, 2005 Share Posted June 21, 2005 Dont think it will, but if it does you never know I just might. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 IMO, I'm already using something similar with an nLited XP. But if this ever become reality, I'd give it a shot, but only in VMware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
