With the news that Microsoft is using fake money to purchase LinkedIn, a professional social network, I can only wonder what kind of business are those guys in ?
They used to be known for selling an operating system, most parts stolen and turn into patents with the complacency of the US government. But with such a freaking entry into social networks, it seems to me that Microsoft will find it hard to justify anymore gathering personal from Windows users, as it apparently started doing silently a number of years ago. The level of conflict of interest will become so high that Microsoft won't publicly be let do anything without people shouting at them that what they are doing is unethical.

This is about the perfect time to start testing a Linux install, I believe.
