well said Geroge Mitchell.
Thank you George Mitchell for posting some common sense in a world festered with simple emotional opinion in the stupid OS hate game wars.

Linux is not dead. This does not kill Linux. Its a smart move by both parties. MS must integrate better outside windows, open up more etc, and the Linux world could learn a lot from the folks at Redmond.
