Here is Microsoft’s Linux… Microsoft Linux - the premier linux distro Enjoy 
I had forgotten about that.
That is a really old joke. I remember getting a kick out of that long before I even started getting in to Linux. Who knew the website was still around? Wow! rotfl!
you don’t need Microsoft Linux, use Linux Genuine Advantage™
Yeh that one is a little dated now that the microsoft site has changed its layout six times since then
LOL, you can mock MS all you want, that won’t take the fact away that MS once produced and sold a UNIX variant called Xenix which at its time was probably the most spread UNIX system around. Also, many of the concepts today you see in modern UNIXes and Linux stem directly from Xenix 
Xenix descended from AT&T V7 Linux. But many of features we associate with Linux were developed in another branch, the Berkeley Unix branch. In particular the socket API, which M$ saw fit to emulate in Winsock. Floating somewhere around the net is a family tree of Unix.

I had Xenix on a Tandy 68k based machine once.
So you side with microsoft and its patent claims over Linux?
What? What made you come to this conclusion? All I said is that no matter how much you bash on MS, it won’t take away the fact that it once was involved in UNIX systems (even today it is by providing UNIX services for NT) and sold one of the most popular UNIX branch of that time called Xenix. Patents and its current hostility towards Linux have nothing to do with a historical fact I pointed out. You’re reading too much into my words and going on your own wild assumptions.
OMG read the Hot Topics:
Microsoft Monkey Colony on Mars
Microsoft Invades Cuba
rotfl!

I remember working at a small computer repair company years ago (1990ish), when I was called out to an equally small insurance company to have a look at an old 8086/8088 vintage machine running Xenix. It was the first time I’d seen this OS, so I didn’t know much about it, and unfortunately for them, the hard disk had crashed (catastrophically), taking all their data with it, and they only had paper records for back up. You can imagine how tedious it was to restore a working database on new hardware…
Sorry, but Microsoft Linux is obsolete now and has since been replaced by SuSE-1.0.7 rotfl!

No, he didn’t say that. Microsoft licensed technology from AT&T IIRC to
produce Xenix. Microchip8 was simply saying “this is the history”.
