Windows Vista Linux? [HUMOR]

Greg,

It was a good thing that this was "Humor", and that Microsoft had not
gone off the deep end by trying to claim that Windows Vista was "Linux".

It would mean that I would have to dust off my responsibility to the
Linux Mark Institute and invoke the very seldom (in Linus' case) used
legal stance of trademark protection (only forcibly used twice in
fifteen years, from my memory).

I am glad that this was nothing more than a badly placed comma.
