Hmm. So Microsoft has a lot of cash, and they need a distributed filesystem that scales well. Namesys has the knowhow to implement a good (proper) distributed filesystem, but needs funding. ... scary. ;-) Too bad Gates and co. would never allow MS to fund something that would directly benefit Linux, even if they got a lot out of it too. (And I don't know how Hans would feel about accepting money from MS.) -- Hubert Chan - http://www.uhoreg.ca/ PGP/GnuPG key: 1024D/124B61FA Fingerprint: 96C5 012F 5F74 A5F7 1FF7 5291 AF29 C719 124B 61FA Key available at wwwkeys.pgp.net.
