Of course in a few years Microsoft will 'invent' Linux. We'll get a
consistent desktop (but still a bad one), and a system that's
inherently unstable. But the Microsoft-buying public will lap it up,
thinking how clever Microsoft are for inventing something that -
unbeknown to them - looks oddly like UNIX. :-)
