Sorry. I asked the second because I have seen quite a few users in several linux distros (there were even two in the old bsdforums before it died out) asking about it and some even said (dunno if it is true, not surprising though) that it´s Microsoft shoke-holding major developers so as to shape the development of the diferent *NIX systems in such a way that they become less attractive to new users to the point that they´re (supposedly) no longer a threat to microsoft dominance in the computing world (wouldn ´t be surprising considering their anticompetitive moves regarding illegal software integration and the illegal way they have to drive rivals into bankrupcy).
P.D: Is not that I believe in it, just that I had to do an essay about Microsoft illegal bussiness practices the last semester at college and learned quite a lot while preparing it.
