VMware to launch own Linux distro?

,----[ Quote ]
| This is a pure rumour, sourced from random 
| tweets. But it comes from Miguel de Icaza, 
| founder of Gnome and Mono, so it has a certain 
| investment of radiance.
| 
| His first tweet:
| 
| "VMware is creating a new Linux distro, 
| according to the recruiting spam they are 
| sending on Linked In."

De Icaza makes light of Microsoft bid to sell anti-Linux patents

,----[ Quote ]
| Novell vice-president Miguel de Icaza has
| dismissed Microsoft's bid to sell patents
| that could be used to attack Linux,
| saying it was not a problem as the
| patents were now in good hands.
|
| [...]
|
| "As for the patent sale, they are now in
| good hands: the OIN, so they are not a
| problem." (emphasis mine)
|
| Mark pointed out that some of the
| comments, made in reaction to De Icaza's
| post, made no sense because they were
| referring to this deleted portion. De
| Icaza did not respond to this post.
