First of all MAC is known for user friendly goods if you have tried
them. What MS did arm twisting of Apple. They used Apple as the testing
user interface when they relaesed MS office for apple. They always
used to keep MS OFFICE version upodate slow on apple. They praticly
killed the market for apple by kiling all the apps slowly and steadly
I think when MS steps in Corel and Sun would not dare touch the office
suite market in linux.
Most probably it is a rumor to scare of other vendors.
I think we should be wary about this than happy

Microsoft may well be working on kernel modules and modifing the
code. This may be realaesd under GPL but this may ultimately lead to a
break
Microsoft Linux and linus linux

HAHA GPL is going to win when people would be behind it.
Where are those guys who use KDE hello QT is in QPL license.
*We* should think strongly bout GPL and use GPLed software as much as
we can. Licensing issues make a big deal.
Free software is a strong force when we a guarding it.
