Microsoft is negotiating for exclusive rights to future Linux development and marketing with the intention of using it as the foundation for their post-Longhorn era OS range.

Read about it Here (www.Breakingnews.us)

It doesn't bother me much, I'm a late-adopter still using W95 and W98. I'll just be getting to grips with XP when the end of the World arrives. :D

Of course if all you Linux fans remembered the date today you wouldn't have got so agitated, but that's what April Fools Day is all about. This is the real link [url=http://www.april-fools.us/history-april-fools.htm[/url]

340053 2005-03-31 23:34:00 I sense a hoax, but going to three hoax busting sites reveals nothing.

BTW, I could not see the article on the site you gave. If you were not an established PF1er, it would seem that you are advertising. ;)

340054 2005-03-31 23:35:00 If only it were true, Implementing the huge amount of drivers at MS's disposel and incorperating a few dozen wizards would make Linux a worthwhile product.

Implmenting DX would be a godsend.

Then all they would have to do is make every account an Admin by default, Build the browser into the OS,and hell.....we would back where we started..... :confused:
