Haha this is one ironic piece of news - Microsoft helps build a competing operating system.

On the other hand, jokes aside this is a good move. It benefits consumers, regardless of the intentions behind it.

Hyper-V - the hypervisor for people who don't really know what one is for.

Duel Boot is the way to go, Microsoft Office is light years ahead of Open Office, I use Ubuntu for browsing and light work, but if I want to produce a serious Document I,ll use Office.

Both have there good and bad points.

Microsoft would benefit from having smart users not dumb ones, as they have much more too ofter than just Office.

Smart users are people who aren't scared of the command line. Those people may have a crack at VB or Silverlight too, and they may even become regular readers of this magazine.

In India a IT Professional is a not called a Geeks, they are respected Professionals. Time for a change in this Country, So we don't end up with Morons thinking its OK to Censor the INTERNET, or thinking that they would achieve the outcome they promote.

Go forth promote advanced computer users!! as respected people "NOT GEEKS"!!

Darn how many wines have I drunk tonight

Huh? The trick is to have the least amount of overhead in the hypervisor. Why load a CPU hog like Windows when a low overhead OS like Linux is available?

The Big Baboo (User):

Hmmmmmmmmm Sounds a bit fishy to me. I wonder what MS are actually up to with this idea.Bill could probably tell us if he was still involved.
