Yes, english really not my first language. Micrsoft is fxxking care
about the customer opinion, although their os is not stable, but they
don't want too many people talk about that, if a redhat bug causes
windows become more unstable. After this news spread, microsoft will
scare. So they MAY sue redhat.
I am just want to know in america, they are able to sue or not. If in
hong kong, they may.
thanks
