Microsoft launches Linux website



Microsoft is at Linuxworld (in flame retardant suits no doubt), and they've already taken the wraps off their free version of Virtual Server. So what's left is a site on how MS is trying to make all their toys play nice with Linux. Named Port25, the site is supposed to be an open view of what Microsoft is doing for interoperability between their tools and Linux offerings, without all that FUD. We shall see how devoid of FUD the site really is when it launches, but as of right now there's still nothing there. Bill Hilf, the new guy in charge of the MS Linux operations, had this to say about the affair: "The reality is that customers run different technologies. ... We’re still a commercial software company, but in some cases people want to run Linux, want to run Windows virtualized, want to manage Linux using [Microsoft products]. In those situations, we can find a way to interoperate."
