Microsoft This interview with Bill Hilf, Microsoft's Linux Lab Manager, answers questions from readers of Slashdot. It speaks about OSS inside Microsoft, attitudes towards open standards, and of course Linux. "Believe it or not, I use more different types of OSS here at Microsoft than I've ever used before. Our team uses over 40 different flavors of Linux and BSD, plus several commercial Unix variants."

So ma_d. What would you do if a chip vendor was over 12 months behind on a chip they promised you with nothing in site for G5 notebook computers. IBM couldn't deliver. Apple was tired of waiting for something that wasn't going to arrive. They HAD to go with another CPU vendor. And the only choice out there, that could deliver in quantity and quality ON TIME, was Intel.

To answer a question before it was asked. No, AMD could not deliver in quantity and quality.
