Microsoft has contributed to the Linux-kernel. I’ll continue when you have regained yourself and are back on your chair. I mean, that’s how I reacted when I first read this news.

I don’t know what to think about this. I mean, Microsoft has never once held back when it came to bashing Linux, the most notorious example being Steve Ballmer compairing Linux to cancer. But, we’ll see what happens next…
