I wonder what happened with MS's own experiments with Linux, could they have
failed to learn the commandline syntax perhaps. If MS want to sell a Linux
product, they can pick up a Debian, clag something on top of it and charge
a service charge.
I actually wanted them to do that at more than one time, put a safe Linux
base under a MS Win shell. It would have solved a great many troubles and
may well have seen off those pesky Linux chaps.
