Ouch. Beat Avi Blizovski on the head for poor translation. The article in
cnn.com reads a lot different to me than the one in bokertov. The differences
are subtle, but significant. It's not MS creating its own Linux or even having
its own free software initiative. It's MS trying to defend itself against the
(very real) competition, and using the same old FUD.

The bottom line of the CNN article is "MS sees Linux and free software as a real
threat". Not "MS is trying to join or take advantage of free software
advantages" as it seemed from Avi's article.

End of story, I think.
