Microsoft Linux?


Hi there!

I just found this
http://www.mslinux.org
what is this???
What this license means!

"MS Linux is released under the provisions of the Gates Private License, which means you can freely use this Software on a single machine without warranty after having paid the purchase price and annual renewal fees."

Talking joke web?

It seems to be a web of Microsoft who was modified and soon uploaded. Very interesting. Specially, the colonies of Mars monkeys.
And the lack of warrabtyafter the purchase....

As I understand it this is intended as humor. The quotes on the lower left hand side are my personel favorite. Since there is no actual software, I would gather that the liscense that it would be released under does not really matter that much.

i like the "justice department" link

ahh, and a very good M$ OS it will be, in tradition of M$DOS it has even included crapd to hold together the wonderful experience quite a few of us had (right before using the windows CD's for target practice and started using linux), and the cause of numerious bussines people's alsers

I am closing this for 2 reasons. The first is that this has been debated, posted and reposted almost interminably over the last few years and everyone who sees it believes they were the first. A Search for mslinux would have given you many many results.

And this is in the wrong forum.
