The other day, I was thinking about how big companies like IBM,
have extended and embraced Linux. Now, most of you will
probably shudder and shake your heads at the next thought but I
also wondered what things would be like if Microsoft suddenly tried
to do the same thing for the BSD community. I wonder if there's a
remote
possibility that something like that could happen. I also wonder what
the
reaction of the BSD community would be like. Would M$ be welcomed or
would they get the door slammed in their face.
In a way, hasn't Apple done the same thing by integrating the BSD
kernel
into the new Mac OS X?
I guess the main question is, would the BSD community benefit from big
corporate
backing? If so or not, why?
