Microsoft Announces Its Own Linux OS and names it Miux.
It will have a new desktop environment which will make it look like Windows 10
Looks like its tough competition ahead. 
Of course, it is April 1st today!
At first I fell for it. Later I realized Iâve been made April Fool.
rotfl!lol! April 1st ?
Not entirely. Isnât there a Windows 10 ARM version for Raspberry Pi in the works?

Never say never!
Reading a article from Phoronix (About MS Visual studio 2015) today is the first sign i have seen that MS is actually taken steps to that their .NET platform is going to support/work on Linux(not only android) and open source.
Well my MS fixed brother will receive a mail with the link :). Yes the world is changing.

That actually was reported a few months back in the tech press. Thereâs
currently some question about some of the licensing terms; theyâre using
MIT, but apparently thereâs something slightly different from the
standard MIT license that theyâre doing thatâs causing consternation in
some circles - though that could just be those circles saying âitâs
Microsoft, so there must be something hinky going onâ rather than an
actual issue - I havenât read enough about it to know myself.

I agree upon that. Who have time to read it all? On the other hand some resources have more creditability then others.
On the third hand things are happening. I draw my conclusions from the news. About 13 years ago I was working for a company that was using Novell Netware and SCO (informix dbâs). Sins a couple of years they are running SLES instead(dont know what db). About⌠When SCO âŚBermuda triangel? There is another thing to think of. Two examples of going down or try to stay in the game.

Iâm not inclined to think that thereâs no chance of change, especially
when thereâs been a change at the top (as there has been with Microsoft).
I also know people who currently do or used to work at Microsoft - and
theyâre all good people. But the culture there is changing (just takes a
long time to change with so many employees). Where I live, there are two
Microsoft offices in easy walking distance, and the main campus is about
10 miles away.
Needless to say, my SUSE jacket causes heads to turn, but only when
people notice that itâs not a Seattle Seahawks jacket (they use almost
exactly the same shade of green as SUSE).

Well, sure, it does. If you work in IT, itâs hard to avoid Microsoft
products.

eDirectory (the successor to NDS) is still around; NetIQ owns all of
Novellâs former identity products - now part of Microfocus.
As for your technical question, thatâs a good question for the networking
forum.

OK! Now I 'm straining my homemade English. My post was rhetorical. Yes I now what happen to NDS (pre) and e-directory. I also know why Samba DC AD is not working in oS.
I had a look upon LDAP in oS a couple of years ago but⌠I never get it fully working(to lazy). Had a look on 389-server (fedora based) butâŚ

http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=OSS-Windows-Definitely-PossibleMy op, -to late. wrong construction of their Os and so on. Had a update Sunday today for my Win VMâs and it takes unbelievably long long time for even updating 1 (!) of them. And sometimes takes several reboots.
Attach a screen shot, the support is ending for win2003(sbs2003) server (in April 2015). It served me well during some years but It was some time ago it was running sharp. I boot it up just for fun. Same thing for WinXP(released 2001?). Not easy to compete. I mean oS evergreen or Ubuntu LTS?

Well, at least it wasnât Miukux. :sarcastic:
I sub-contract out for IT Services in my local area and most of the servers that I have an opportunity to work with are running UNIX based OS, with a smattering of Microsoft installations. On the Unix side of the fence, the issues are most always with hardware failure, not the OS. With the MS side, it is usually the OS, not the hardware - exactly opposit trends. Interestingly enough - Intel uses Linux / Unix on all of their critical platforms - both for R and D as well as data storage. If you are in the US try to visit Intelâs Jones Farm Campus - they are 9000+ strong and most are invovled with linux during the course of research and development, new hardware deployment or embeded hardware support. Intel is betting on ultra portable devices to take over personal computing roles, with âserversâ handeling the computations and the portables acting as inteligent terminals.
Microsoft will never fully abandon the Windows platform, and the business model they are pursuing is touch screen, portable tablet OS tuned to look and feel like a âconsoleâ OS, as that is what they belive the vast majority of users will be demanding from them moving forward. MS OS engineers rarely listen to the users themselves, they tend to think of us as âcattleâ waiting to be milked⌠This is quite evident if you have looked into the Windows 10 preview, it really does suck.
Cheers.

Then you shouldnât have asked those questions. 
Your posts are
frequently confusing, and thatâs one of the reasons why.
Especially considering that youâre asking a question about eDirectory
from one of the people who quite literally âwrote the bookâ on it.

You have to look at the costs over the long haul. One of Microsoftâs
very successful tactics is to lower the initial cost, but tie you into
products that over a period of time (generally 3-5 years, IIRC) end up
costing you more. They understand that the decision makers generally
turn over in 3-5 years (ie, are replaced by someone else), so low initial
costs are something that helps that decision maker get promoted, leaving
the longer-term investment to the next person - who can generally say âI
didnât make this decision, but itâs cheaper to stay than it is to do a
rip and replace nowâ. Microsoft wins on both ends because of that.
Theyâve always done a very good job of understanding their sales
environment.

Agreed. As the saying goes, `no-one ever got fired for buying MicrosoftâŚâ

Even IT. Is there any professional field where Microsoft doesnât plays dictator?
In Product Design major software are windows based, in Mechanical the software are windows based, in Civil Engineering also,⌠I can go on and on.
Digital Broadcasting and Television, Linux and Macs all over the place.
