(Microsoft and Canonical announced at a dev conference today that they've been working together to "bring Linux to Windows".

-Microsoft internal slogan to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences to disadvantage its competitors. I think it started as far back as the 1990 Browser Wars.
