I doubt it.  People don't use Microsoft products because
of their quality or functionality.

Single-user UNIX isn't all that useful.


Linux and FreeBSD are both free, and come with source code.
You can get "commercial" versions of Linux for around $30
(that's on CDROM).  You can get support for Linux, and probably
for FreeBSD.

Oh so carefully worded PR BS:

"It also represents the first time in more than 20 years that the owner of 
UNIX technology has provided the operating system free of charge to the 
public"

Note "owner of UNIX technology"

They make it sound like noone without a multimillion dollar budget could
ever get UNIX before. What a crock.

It's good to see them making it free, but there are far better free
system already IMO (Linux, FreeBSD, etc).
