Windows Vista? How about Micrix...?

Saturday, July 30, 2005

A very interesting article by Bill Thompson, technology commentator for the BBC.

"What will happen when Microsoft releases its new Linux distribution: Micrix (pronounced mick-rix)? It is everything you want.

It is completely cross-compatible with Windows, other versions Linux and the Mac OS. Microsoft indemnifies you against lawsuits from companies like SCO who claim Linux infringes their copyright.

If you are running Microsoft software already then it is supported as part of that licence, and even home users get free telephone support."

Funnily enough - and as a side note - I'm posting this from Xandros Desktop 3.0, a Debian based Linux OS, which is rock-solid stable, very responsive and has excellent Windows compatibility.
