I SERIOUSLY doubt it because;
1) their programmers aren't smart enough to figure out HOW to cause Linux
to crash every time the mouse arrow moves.
2) They would have to convince the rest of the Linux world, AND a lot of
windows users to pay ridiculous amounts of money for virtually the same
product, un-M$-afide, for free.
3) I'm not all that sure any of their programmers really knows a REAL
programming language with which to create an M$-linux distribution.
Besides...you really can't monopolize and leverage something that is open
source and for that reason I don't think Mr. Gates finds Linux all that
interesting. He can't corner the market where the Penguin Lives and keep
it all to himself.
