Microsoft will launch several projects around Linux and other open source technologies for allowing Indian customers the option to run its products on different operating systems and technologies. The initiative, to be rolled out in around a month's time, is aimed at grabbing "more market share for the Windows platform by allowing interoperability with open source technologies such as Linux," said Radhesh Balakrishnan, director, platform strategy, Microsoft India.

Unless, of course, people KNEW they were going to shut the place down completely for a year. Or, even worse, people noticed at the six-week mark that nothing was happening at Redmondco Inc. No support, no patches, no nothing, I'm not sure it would bode well. Plus,they'd have to stop paying all the employees for that time to keep ALL the money, the shareholders would have to be asked nicely not to divest to severely, and if they turned around and invested whatever money was left over they'd suddenly be an investment company, and that's hardly "shutting down". Microsoft, like anyone else, needs momentum to stay dominant. In the computer industry, a year's lassitude would cost ANYBODY dearly, even Microsoft, if only in perception of future health.
