Run Linux better on Windows


A little snip from the inquirer.

REPORT SAID Microsoft has upgraded its virtual PC technology and by the end of the year you’ll be able to run Linux on Windows, but cheaper.

According to a representative at Microsoft, by the end of this year, you will be able to pay $100 less than for the current Connectix technology and run nearly every X86 operating system in a virtual PC environment, according to PC Week, sorry E-Week.


Now why would I want to run the worlds most stable OS on the worlds most unstable OS?

Run Linux under Windows cheaper than running Linux by itself? Someone must be using funny math...

Its just a way for microsux to dig deeper in someones pocket. Why would anyone want to do that? Most people are used to windows and are used to paying for microsoft products and microsoft not being blind is noticing that linux is having more and More users use it, so microsoft wants to cash in on the opportunity. This is just a attempt for microsoft to try to grow as a monopoly and as long as they are making money who do they care about? That is one big joke if you ask me!
