Indeed, I rubbed my eyes the first time I saw the add. My reply was to
the manager
that sent it " Soon enough MS will open their code and offer free download" .
One (or a company), can own an Enterprise class Linux with option for
support, with download *and* updates,
by a company that you can "knock on their door", so to speak.  Yes,
Red-Had and Suse are there, a long time ago,
but, someone big just jumped in.
I'm sure that plenty of folks will have a word or two about support ,
in any case, it is quite a shift in powers.
