The only thing I wouldn't put past Oracle and Larry has to be anything to do with Microsoft. If I hadn't heard the cussing, swearing and seen the fists raised, maybe I could kind of believe it. Microsoft openly tells its Solution Provider Partners that they want to "kill" Oracle. Heard it. Siemens is on the beta testing list for a Linux Exchange client. They don't want to have to dual boot their laptops just to participate in the MS Exchange enterprise. Microsoft built a big Network Operation Center with HPs and then after getting HP's endorsements, kicked them out and put Compaq Proliants in. These four appear as unlikely conspirators. Microsoft will shut its doors before it puts a Linux distro together. Hate blinds the soul. Some people would rather die than be wrong. But you have to admit, it's an interesting story.
