Then they got Lindows deal going on wheich is just bleh. Then saw at the World Linux expo they having something to run Unix apps in Windows or maybe was run windows apps in unix, don't remember. Yet not all seem stable yet, much of Microsoft products are just never stable. So how you feel about Gates expanding.

OSX installs with a XFree86 in addition to Aqua, or whatever the default window system is. Runs most x programs just fine. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 57 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Sep 2003 Posts: 57 | Somehow I can't imagine a MS product coming out under the GPL.
Although... it would be awesome.
