Surely, Microsoft must know the difference between a kernel and an OS.<br /><br />That's really funny, since Microsoft has been trying to play catch-up with Linux distributions (specifically, the KDE desktop) and open source software in general in years and Linux distributions are on the rise, while Microsoft's Windows is in a decline.
