[LBo] Features of MS next OS...

[Jackson Robertson]

If they end up using this model more people will become disenfranchised with
them and thus move to another operating system. Most likely Mac OSX but if
the community can jump on it (if it were to happen) then the linux could
grap a large number of new users very easily. I could see MS doing this in
the future and also collecting from other companies that might use the same
model.
