Yeah, yeah, Microsoft is late to the party again. It's a good thing they can't wreck free software like they wrecked spyglass but they might be able to wreck Novel. Replacement is the only forward path for Windows. The question is not if they will use Linux, it's how much of other people's work they can steal this time. Palladium is how but will they be able to pull it off or will people see though it and buy uncompromised hardware for their free software? Will they even be able to?
