this is an srticle that explains more of the above, why MS was 'forced' to release the code as OSS... can MS be trusted? On Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 4:08 AM, Eric Yeoh wrote: > > To those who are not familiar with FOSS and thi

To those who are not familiar with FOSS and think that the computing world == MS, having MS playing nice with FOSS in my opinion only makes FOSS more visible. As the saying goes, you can never get too much publicity. Eric On Sat, Aug 29, 2009 at 7:18 AM, Ditesh Kumar wrote: > On Sat, Aug 29, 20

It's not for the patch they made recently but they COULD do more in the future for such things for better integration for both OSes. Hasanuddin Abu Bakar --- Ubuntu embedded developer/tester https://wiki.ubuntu.com/bizkut Get FireGPG for your Firefox! http://getfireg

It's not only virtualise Linux on windows but also to make windows run nice on top Linux. Hasanuddin Abu Bakar --- Ubuntu embedded developer/tester https://wiki.ubuntu.com/bizkut Get FireGPG for your Firefox! http://getfiregpg.org PGP Public Key http://keyserver.u

Because there is always someone that think windows is the solution for everything But on the positive side, it allows linux to go into a windows only development house On Aug 29, 9:46 am, Raja Iskandar Shah wrote: > stupid question - why would anyone want to virtualise linux on windo

stupid question - why would anyone want to virtualise linux on windows ? this looks more like a pot-shot at vmware. hopefully, the drivers can be useful for wine - i still cant get a good accounting software alternative that runs on linux as compared to ubs accounting, peachtree or quickbooks.

[osdcmy-public] Re: MS contributing to Linux kernel

Salutations, I guess the whole hoo-hah was due to the fact that MS finally decides to contribute something for the GNU/Linux ecosystem rather than just flinging FUD at it. Yes, to many, the drivers may not amount to much but it could be a start for more possible contributions in the future. Eri
