This is too funny not to show you. Microsoft has a site for downloads of various software products, not just their own. It's called Windows Marketplace. Yesterday, for a brief shining moment, you and 10,000 or so other people could and did download Ubuntu Linux from a link on that page -- thank you, Google Cache -- which sent viewers to CNET for the download.
According to that page, Ubuntu is perfect:

It was only up for a few hours and now I suspect that Microsoft has a job opening.
140 out of 156 users (of Windows Marketplace) found the review useful.
