Old news. The code is so their virtual server can run linux more efficiently.

Don't see how this is old news except that M$ did release the code to Windows Services for UNIX under the GPL years ago. >From Bradley's blog at SFLC. "Another thing that's not new to Microsoft is that they have no interesting in contributing to Free Software unless it makes their proprietary software more desirable." M$ has a long ways to go before I'd consider them a genuine member of the FLOSS community. dennisk -- Learn Linux @ Mesa Community College http://classes.sis.maricopa.edu --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss

I think that it's very important to make our community a welcoming one. Even if someone like Microsoft is slow to contribute and learn, we should welcome them. We can be cautious, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be encouraging. --Ted signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part --- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change your mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
