I have thought about it and it just doesn't seem logical for Microsoft to create a version of Linux.
Microsoft create software for the technologically-impaired mostly. Every OS they create is trying to be more user-friendly than the last. It's a common fact that Windows (when it's working) is a lot more user-friendlier and easier to navigate than Linux (I'm referring to Red Hat, because it is the only one I have).
Why then would Microsoft resort to something highly complicated and needs a strong computer enthusiast to run? If they were going to ever create an MS-Linux it would be nothing like it. No character-cell mode and it would never be open-source.
This is just my theory anyway, correct me if I'm wrong.
Yours in responce,
