Hi!

Well, there were rumored some thoughts about M$ using some UNIX technology 
on their next generation products, similarly to Apple...

Well, I heard from a Debian developer also some thoughts about doing a 
Debian distro with an OpenBSD kernel, to mix the best of two worlds... (At 
least in their thoughts)... Well, this Debian thingie was not meant as a 
joke, but AFAIK it never got really up...
