Have you partaken in the conspiracy theories about Microsoft's recent investment in Vintela, a Unix-Windows integration software company? Vintela's association with SCO, and Microsoft's apparent interest in keeping SCO's legal battle against IBM afloat in order to undermine Linux, certainly provide plenty of kindling to keep the home fires burning at conspiracy central. But let's try to get the story straight first. OSNews interviewed Vintela President Dave Wilson.

They were mighty tightly tied to MS long before anyone spent a dollar on investment. Their thing is integration between nix and Windows. While there are many sources of nix, there is but one source of Windows. So MS has by far their largest single partner no matter how you slice it.
I've yet to see a smaller company turn down an investment from a corporation the size of MS. The idea of any business is to make a profit, and the capital from this investment will go a long ways to insure they do exactly that.
If you believe everything MS does is a conspiracy you are in for a very very long period of tension and stress.
They ain't going away anytime soon.
