Dvorak missed the ball. M$ has no intention of bringing out a M$-Linux
offering. Ever. Hell would have ice skaters for a century before it
happens.

What the purchase of Vintela does is give M$ another tool to use to
squash Linux. By shutting down the Linux aspect of the cross platform
nature of Vintela, Microsoft can further extend their grasp on the
business desktop. Vintela is a direct threat by offering products and
services that can make code for one platform work on all platforms. M$
does not see Apple nor Sun as any threat at all. So cross-platform
development for those platforms is very safe and likely a business
builder.
