Microsoft and interoperability with Linux

[LP]

I am not as experienced at Linux as most of you here, maybe all, I am the
perpetual Noob since Ubuntu 7.04
I do not do Politics, I don't know how, I do the Truth & I try to be Polite.
George Carlin, "They are only words, it is all in the context."

"Oh, and by the way, "MS" also stands for Mark Shuttleworth, founder of
Ubuntu.  Typing 'M$' instead of Microsoft is
nothing but a cheap and cliché shot" (I don't see the difference ? and no i
am not being a wise guy they are the same)
Freedom of speech.
Sometimes I just don't understand what all the commotion is about.
