Microsoft Corp. has extended an olive branch to the open-source community, calling for a sit-down to discuss how the software giant can better work with the open-source world. But don't expect to see an open-sourced version of Windows any time soon. Microsoft is making nice with its open-source adversaries, while continuing to defend its rights to hold and use its arsenal of software patents.
At a recent conference sponsored by the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) in Cambridge, Md., Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, called for bridge building between Microsoft, its competitors and the open-source community. "In the world of software development today there is a broad panoply of software development models," Smith said.

I don't think that a single-OS computing world is practical nor positive.
I think that what Linux needs is a company that creates a new system end-to-end based on the Linux OS. Just look what apple has been able to do with Unix.
Lindows is a poor effort at this but they are making head way. but as long as Distros relly on the open source community to cobble different components together there will always be problems.
Of course this new system would not be free and may find it hard to compete with Apple/ Windows.
Open Source = Communism.
Oopen Source makes your corn flakes soggy.
Open Source advocates get more cavities.
Yay Closed Source / Open Minded Microsoft.
