Even I heard about that MS Linux distro thing but I really don't think MS is
going to do that otherwise who will use their *own* OS. Or maybe they really
are working on some kind of a linux distro behind closed doors. And about
the Java being bought by MS thing . You are probably referencing to the new
C# language that MS ha developed and is a part of Visual Studio 7. According
to MS C# is more relevent than java across the MS .NET platform than JAVA
and might replace java in the near future. Although I don't think that is
possible. Java's strength lies in the fact that it is compatible across
almost all imaginable platforms and not only the .NET architecture.

LIH is all for free speech. But it was created
