Masters, hehe... That's a little too kind of you :)

I think it can't be true. If Microsoft were to make a Linux distribution 
then that, too, would be open-source by law, as nobody OWNS the Linux 
code anymore. However, Linus Torvalds and the other kernel developers 
could choose to work for Microsoft to create a new kernel. Frankly, I 
can't see that happening right now.

Microsoft COULD make a UNIX-based OS, though, and all I can say is I 
don't care. My Gentoo Linux distribution is free, it's slick and it's 
fast. Micrsosoft can take their distros and stick em up their ass. 
err... asses. Blah. 困る。 Unless the OS were significantly faster than 
other UNIX-based OSes, it simply wouldn't become popular with UNIX 
people. Windows users would buy it, and then complain when their games 
weren't working, as is almost always the case with new Windows versions 
anyway. Then they might buy Macs, I guess.
