yep, the latest from microsoft and its windows vista:
it will be interoperable with linux!

major step in the open source community for microsoft

Man Microsoft had been trying to eat up as much as they could, first they said open source is a threat to them, now they want to team up with linux and still offer the product for free. I just cannot imagine how much they wants to gobble up before they had enough of resources.
I will not find it surprising if Microsoft team up with OpenOffice.

thanks for this news

"if you cannot defeat your enemy, team up to him". I know it's a bad translation but thats what microsoft is doing...

Somehow, I get the feeling that Microsoft will manage to fumble in this relationship with Linux.

So, even if Microsoft does make Vista and Linux interoperable, I think I'll still choose to dual boot with Debian and Windows. If I do purchase a Macbook later on, then I'll triple boot
