"Today at the Worldwide Partner Conference in San Francisco, Microsoft's chief operating officer, Kevin Turner, announced that Windows Server 2008 (previously known as Longhorn), Microsoft SQL Server 2008, and Visual Studio 2008 will be officially launched on February 27, 2008. This may come as a surprise to those following the Windows 2008 Server news closely, since most sources at Microsoft have been insisting that the next version of its server operating system will released at the very end of 2007. Apparently in Redmond there is a difference between releasing the OS and the extravagant product launches, which are more of a pep rally for the product then a technical presentation."

"No, they're under the GPL license. GNU != GPL.
Most software released under the GPL aren't GNU projects."
GPL is short for "GNU General Public License"
reference http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html.
The license you can argue has been chosen for Linus' tit-for-tat or Dicks four freedoms but its definitely a GNU License.

"You know X.org is not a GNU project and that it is BSD licensed, right?"
Its not its under the X11 License or MIT License
"And that neither XFCE, Firefox, XChat, MPlayer nor Audacity are GNU projects?"
Yes but oddly they all use the GNU License.
