I read the article from a devshed link the other day. It's a load of
crap. Trust me, it's not worth your time.

Microsoft @ 30
Thanks, Linux

Is Linus Torvalds secretly working for Microsoft? That sounds
crazy until you consider that lately, the free operating
system he created, Linux, has been helping Microsoft close deals.
Consider the deal that Microsoft (nasdaq: MSFT - news - people )
snagged with the London borough of Newham, announced in early
August. Looking to overhaul their computer systems, the Brits
originally planned to dump Microsoft's Windows and switch to
open-source programs, including Linux. But when they
commissioned a study to evaluate costs, they found it would be
cheaper to stick with Windows. So they signed on for a 10-year
deal.
