> (a penguin with the logo of Microsoft on its stomach).

> Microsoft will "embrace and extend" Linux, and it may combine the
> ability to run Win16 and Win32 applications under it, but without
> any source code of Windows.
> 
> No comments are mentioned.

> I am not sure that this news item is true; I think it is a

> thing "wishful"...), or only a rumor.

> Don't try to read it at slashdot or LWN; It seems that they are
