Microsoft Distributes Ubuntu!
I thought I’d eaten the wrong kind of mushrooms for breakfast this morning, imagine my amazement as I discovered that Microsoft has been distributing Ubuntu via its Windows Marketplace website for the past couple of days.
Obviously, MS has taken the link down now but for a few golden moments 11000 users visited for an upgrade and went away with a copy of Ubuntu Linux.
But how, I hear you ask has this error occurred? As of this moment no-one is sure, but my money is on a disgruntled employee. Whichever way it happened, I’m guessing one MS employee will be seeing his/her P45 on Monday. Any jobs going Mr Shuttleworth?
