Not even that; it's an artifact of the search report, which folds information into one long text stream. If you drill down into the individual product specifications, they list as (with line breaks): Operating Systems Supported: Windows XP, Windows XP64 and Windows 2000 Linux 32 and Linux 64 Windows Vista Ready Alas, it appears Microsoft has not seen the light yet. -- Ben ___ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/

Re: Windows Vista Linux? [HUMOR]
Greg, It was a good thing that this was "Humor", and that Microsoft had not gone off the deep end by trying to claim that Windows Vista was "Linux". It would mean that I would have to dust off my responsibility to the Linux Mark Institute and invoke the very seldom (in Linus' case) used legal stance of trademark protection (only forcibly used twice in fifteen years, from my memory). I am glad that this was nothing more than a badly placed comma. maddog -- Jon "maddog" Hall Executive Director Linux International(R) email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 80 Amherst St. Voice: +1.603.672.4557 Amherst, N.H. 03031-3032 U.S.A.
