what exactly do you suggest we learn from M$?
Innovative and integrated User experience. As a developer, I still have not come across development environment + documentation comparable to MSDN + Visual Studio.
I work on a C++ product that works on few platforms (Solaris, Win32/64, Linux). I keep evaluating Linux dev + debug tools every few years and keep coming back to Windows for development. And most of GNU command line tools work on Windows with Cygwin (to integrate build process with VS).
Few things that Linux has innovated :
1. IPTABLES 2. RaiserFS 3. Live CD
Can anyone think of other things that Linux introduced and were not already present in other Unix environments.
