A Virtual hug? More like a mugging.
This is just another attempt of microsoft trying to corner the market on OS's. They can't snuff out Linux, so they decided to support it in the hopes to make even more money. Why buy Linux if you can just buy windows and get linux support with it? The hardworking people that sell linux don't stand much of a chance. Just like Netscape. Why buy Linux if you can get it for free? These day's I grow tired of Windows and microsoft. Think my next computer is going to be a MAC.
