Its probably just a stupid decision to hard code the Microsoft Operating System tag as they only expected to include those but now Ubuntu is popular and they are supporting it , they have probably forgotten about their hard coded program. Or maybe it is too hard to change the coding until the next revision.

I doubt it's a mistake, given the history of MS and its relentless attempt to totally own mindshare. Similarly with Microsoft 'open source' and them turning up at Open Source conferences to 'explain' what 'open source' should be :)

With over 6 million pounds in debt (nearly 10 million US dollars) we guess it's likely some other company will take over the site (if it deems it worthwhile)
The crash of this bubble isn't just inevitable, it's already happening and receding sporadically because of false announcements about money that does not actually exist (to "buy time")
When Debian wanted to stage a seemingly legitimate election it needed to have more than one candidate running; so eventually the female partner of a geek rose to the challenge (had no coding skills at all, no technical history in Debian) and lost to the "incumbent German"
Even back in the 90s many people converted programs from one language to another. That could invalidate copyleft (and copyright), which already existed
