"This is truly a breakthrough," Hewlett-Packard's chief strategy
officer, Shane Robison, gushed at Thursday's news conference in San
Francisco.

Intel, AMD, IBM, Dell and SAP all offered congratulations on the
milestone.

Even the father of Linux, Linus Torvalds, told me he's looking on the
bright side.

"It's not as if everybody suddenly has started trusting Microsoft, so I
suspect the debate over whether this is Microsoft cozying up to people
in order to more easily slit their throats in the night will go on for
some time," Torvalds said via e-mail.

"But hey, quite frankly, at least as far as I'm personally concerned, if
we can all just sit and hold hands by the campfire and sing 'Kumbaya,'
why not? No need to try to see monsters in the night if people really
are trying to be friendly."
