Did you look at the site? I've got some trouble trusting the source.
On the other hand, the idea would be not only brilliant (create a Windows
based Linux with open tools and a Unix environment), but totally MSs
style. Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. They'd totally get killed by the OSC
if they tried to do this. I really hope they do put all the manpower
they have into it. Let ZVista sink, work on OSS tools, and get spanked
for the trouble. Bill will be so happy he got while the getting was
good.
