This is news?

They, as in Microsoft never ever change their modus operandii.

They are paying lip service to Linux. They'll take it all, and after rebranding it, they'll release the 'Next Gen Windows' with a Linux Kernel (heavily modded naturally).

You might ask 'what agout the GPL?'

They'll say... 'we have more lawyers that you FOSStards'.

The beginning of the end for FOSS I'm afraid other than the BSD holdouts.
