Angry Microsoft Linux??!!!


This isnt' a huge suprise to me, but there is one thing that kind of gets me. Can they get off charging $250 for it, and not including the annual renewl fees. It is due to release in November 2002. If you want to go check it oug you can just go to http://www.mslinux.org

Blah...........

This is a hoax. If nothing else, the appalling grammar should give it away.

RacerD buddy, a quick and simple search (I am sure there are more) reveals 5 threads for this, with MANY responses in each. And as Martin has provided, it's a joke.

It's a funny site though isn't it?

Cool

I told you guys, it is inevitable - threads will be circulating here for as long as the internet exists.
So I think this thread is in its third iteration here at LQ.
So to summarize: I came to conclusion that internet is just a giant nested forever loop, with recursive function calls along the way.
