Yes, don't ever confuse MS "open" source or standards as something that will
benefit Linux. It's only going to get worse as they prepare for a patent
war.
They are fully and completely aiming at eradicating Linux. Any statement to
the contrary is only PR to not scare off people.
If they ever make something that will work with Linux it's only so they can
turn around and lock you in later. (More likely you are already locked in
through the agreement you signed or clicked off on.)
If MS had any ideas that they can coexisit with others they would have done
so long ago. Even the agreement with Sun is done to attack Linux on a dual
front. Though both prefess otherwise. Welcome to the world of Public
Relations where what you say is more important than what you do.
