I don't really want to continue this thread but I think you're missing my point. The company 'Microsoft' does not follow laws--whether US, European, copyright, GPL, whatever. They have stolen code before--such as staxx software utitilities in DOS--they don't comply with regs handed down but judges or authorities--like giving out proper specs to Windows networking as demanded by US and European courts. And there are many more examples . . . http://www.aaxnet.com/topics/msinc.html (don't know how reliable it is I just googled for it and it was the third link). Whether or not there is a MS sanctioned version of Linux (virtualized or not) the company has never shown regard for copyright or the law so it seems unlikely that they will start now. Of course it would be great if I were wrong. ;) - -- JT Morée PC Xperience, Inc. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFTKuO1JwGi/ukQqERAhibAKCA7bS4f5tZkioUxn5kiscqoaAWxgCg2AEm WfDkmVEXPur2eWy+ThEx0ZE= =ln/y -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
