General Discussion / Confirmed: Microsoft and Canonical Partner To Bring Ubuntu To Windows 10
« on: March 30, 2016, 07:51:25 pm »
Hi
I was just reading this news at Slashdot.
https://linux.slashdot.org/story/16/03/30/1021224/confirmed-microsoft-and-canonical-partner-to-bring-ubuntu-to-windows-10
Poiting to this Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols article:

Sure, it is nothing technically amazing, it is like running Linux over Windows like we have Win16 on OS/2. Or will it be something different? But it shows something strange with Microsoft behaviour as we used to know them.
Will it be the "Embrace, extend and extinguish" strategy all over again? or will this mark the end of Window as we know it?
It is kind of fun to speculate on this subject.
Regards
