"In a phone interview Friday, Open Source Development Labs (OSDL) CEO Stu 
Cohen said, "As Linux continues to grow, Microsoft will port some of their 
applications to run on Linux." There has been speculation about this for 
years, and this is still speculation, but Cohen is head of an organization 
that says it is "increasingly being recognized as the center-of-gravity for 
the Linux industry," and is rapidly proving himself at least as effective a 
Linux marketer as the freckle-faced boy in IBM's Linux ads, so his 
speculations carry more weight than most."
