pretty soon Microsoft will be producing closed source applications better than those available in open source, they have employed a top linux guy to do this. Microsfot are not new to borrowing, it’s the roots of their organisation, And open source comes up with some awesome ideas and some great applications are devloped with open source so Microsoft will assimilate open source and Winux will be born.
