OF COURSE THEY WONÂT. If they did the DOJ will come after them on
antitrust law grounds. What I suspect they will do is drag their feet,
leave it in perpetual beta, compile it with some akward requirements,
and eventually, a couple years down the line, when everyone has
forgotten about the acquisition altogether, discontinue it: MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED.

Until that day, the neglected child will serve as a decoy "see, we
support non-Windows OSs" just like MS IE 5.0 for Solaris served them
while the DOJ was investigating the Redmond Juggernaut (it was dropped
after a few years).
