Well, they DID pay the royalties, (long overdue!  were due in 1984!), to the 
Regents of Berkeley UC, for all the BSD ports, in 2004, twenty years late!

So, we know that the 'ports' are there!  Plus, there is the recently announced 
virtual OS implementation!  That's so it will run Linux in virtual mode?
I think that I will simply run Linux on a 64 bit AMD system!

But, Microsoft is not going to be competitive in 64 bit systems, for at least 
5 YEARS (AFTER the release of Longhorn, in 2007), because, Linux has been 
doing 64bit systems since 1994, so there are a huge list of Open Source/Linux 
64bit apps. already running, already tested, already proven, in the 
'Enterprize' corporate environment!

Microsoft will need about 1 billion man hours to try to compete with that, and 
then, of course, everything will be 'sold', still in BETA mode, as is usual 
for the Microsoft felon (actually, 'leased' is the proper term for what 
Microsoft does, as described in their EULA!).  

There is no time left for MS 'Longhorn', AKA 'Shorthorn', even if they throw a 
LOT of money at it!  It is already 2-3 years past promotional hype 
projections of a release date!
