Microsoft Linux ??
Every day rumors that Microsoft is going to create a Linux (or at least compatible) Operating System are obtaining more and more turnover.
I have made a kind of research on this issue and here are some ideas on that. Recently Microsoft concluded an agreement with Novell. The agreement’s main aim is support of Linux based applications in the Windows environment. Why would Microsoft need Linux?
Now, Google is planning to create a Linux based web integrated OS and Microsoft clearly understands that Windows (especially Windows Vista) is still but continuously losing its positions in the market. None of 2006 Super Computers have Windows OS, the Servers’ market prefers Linux, BSD systems more and more every year. So, now Microsoft targets mainly at Small Business and Home users. And, extremely high cost of Windows, problems with security, presence of bugs even in RTM version of Vista from one side, and lost cost of Linux, its security, and more user-friendly design from year to year attracts not only Linux maniacs, but also ordinary users, which don’t know what “kernel compilation” is. The bright example is Ubuntu, which was recently voted as Most User-Friendly system.
