Microsoft linux command for change directory will be cd
home will become C:\
and I think they want to buy the free software foundation

I am pretty sure that they will offer a lot of "impruvements". Something like Registry for example

It's not outside the realm of possibility that at some point they would offer a "pay for" enterprise version of linux, just like RHEL, SUSE, Ubuntu and others.  If they do, it's also possible they might offer a "free" version, just like the aforementioned distros.  Besides, if they felt that threatened, the Linux Foundation could have simply denied Microsoft's request to join.  Sorry, don't see the big deal here.

Hmm! No big deal you say? When money talks everything is possible.
