In Response To: It gets WORSE: (Seth)

> I just heard from someone that Linus Torvalds is going to be
> buying a majority of Microsoft stock within a few days.
> Apparently he's made enough money with Linux and that whole
> Crusoe thing to do this, and with this impending
> Microsoft-buys-Bungie deal coming, Linus felt the timing was
> right.

> Once he holds the majority, the guy I was talking to (he talked
> with Linus once on usenet somewhere) said he was going to make
> Microsoft port OS X to the x86 platform, after they buy it from
> Apple. He said Apple is trying to sell their new OS because
> they've spent too much money on it already and need to cut their
> losses.. their market analysis has shown that OS X won't sell
> enough on just Mac platforms to make it profitable.

> Who better to sell it to than Microsoft? They have plenty of

> And look at this: OS X is based on a BSD kernel. A unix. Linux
> is another unix. And Linus is going to own Microsoft.

> All kind of falls together, huh? I do think it means Halo and

> If you ask me, it's really a last-ditch effort on Microsoft's

> Since Linus is from Finland, I also think it means Microsoft
> will be moving to Europe, and in a couple years, Finland will be
> a dominant world power in deciding global policy due to 99% of

> Bablyon the great rises, eh?
