As you probably already know I'm busy with my family and I already have full-time job with Transmeta. Thus, it has been necessary for me to look for some responsible partner who would help me develop Linux. After extensive search, I have decided upon Microsoft Corporation which has been known on market for long time from their high quality software. Thus the upcoming Linux 2.4.0 will become Linux 2000(tm)(r). Pricing will be determined at later time. However, I would like to take opportunity now to remind people who have unlicensed version of Linux to delete it from hard disk and then wait until official release of Linux 2000(tm)(r) will become available. Effective April 1st 2000, midnight, all older versions of Linux are illegal under Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
