chrisj1968 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 And MSFT announced they'll be creating their own distrobution of Linux. the announcement is to come within a month or so. the Article stated Nadella said that with malware and viruses, having a Microsoft (MIUS) Linux . It will have a similar look to Windows but they want to create this distro to leverage Linux as a more powerful system and since its more geared toward the desktop. ok I'm looking at my windows phone and the news sourse Inquisitr states: "Miux by MSFT- Windows 10 Maker may release its own Linux OS soon. it will be announced at the Ignite event in chicago and will be aptly named Miux. sorry if this was already reported but been out of the loop and looked around here for past posts and haven't seen it reported. ok found the Link: LINK -Chrisj1968 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+InsaneNutter MVC Posted June 29, 2015 MVC Share Posted June 29, 2015 What's with all the crazy Microsoft news today? First the one about Sony buying the Xbox devision and now this. The source for that article is an April fools joke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rk_b0mb Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'll believe it when I have it on my hard drive. Microsoft making a linux distro doesn't make sense from a business standpoint. Edit: Researched it further. It's a joke. It would be a cold day in hell when this happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max Norris Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 It's fake. Look at the source article and click the "Know more about Microsoft's Linux OS" link, takes you to the Wikipedia April Fools Day page. (That, and the article is dated April 1...)

simplezz Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Well, Windows 10 has copied a hell of a lot of GNU/Linux/FOSS features (package management, workspaces, etc), so in some sense, it's getting closer to Linux. It's still no where near as powerful, flexible, or secure as Linux though. In truth, I doubt it ever will in its current incarnation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Norris Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That's cute, and no mention of the many things that they copied off of other operating systems (or stuff that should be copied). Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
