Muflontillah Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 (edited) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZA2kqAIOoZM Quote "The Linux kernel has received birthday wishes from an unexpected direction — a video animation from Microsoft. Quoting The H: 'The video picks up on the strained relationship between Microsoft and Linux by displaying the phrase "Microsoft Vs. Linux" and then showing Tux, the Linux mascot, turning his back on the offer of a birthday cake from Microsoft. After a brief outline of the history between Microsoft and Linux, the video ends with a conciliatory gesture: Tux accepts the birthday cake in his igloo and the video ends with "Happy Birthday" and the editing of the initial phrase to "Microsoft and Linux?' moonbender/Slashdot.Org Edited July 20, 2011 by Muflontillah Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Muflontillah's signature Hide all signatures ......welcome to WATMM!!!!!!!

Ego Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Edit Hide Delete Posted July 21, 2011 If this would be made by Microsoft I'm still confused what they are trying to say. Microsoft won't touch GPL licensed software with a 10 foot pole. They pretty much killed Qt & Meego development at Nokia, they've succesfully patent trolled Novell and I'm sure they'll try and come up with more tactics to try and kill off commercial support for GPL licensed software. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5B0GTYfPoMo Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/67604-linux-receives-20th-birthday-video-from-microsoft/#findComment-1622463 Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in: the source of the monkey's stomach discomfort is the accidentally-swallowed button.
