GPL the code and they can post anything they want to the list.

I don't think this list is "to help our [MS] customers".  Just say no.

I use Linux because it is free (as in freedom).  Like the IBM commercial 
says, "what he learns, we all learn."  So the GPL is the only feature 
I'm interested in adding to Windows.

If MS wants input from Linux users, why haven't they asked through their 
MS lists?  They have my name down for several products through my office 
and they've never said (e.g.,) "Hey!  Are any of you MSDN subscribers 
Linux users?  If you are we want your input."

They can leave BLUG alone.
