In a variety of contexts, Microsoft is not sparing any effort to bridge the gap that separates its proprietary Windows operating system from the open source Linux platform. From the Linux-Windows interoperability
agreements to the extensions introduced to virtualization support, the Redmond company is embracing Linux
more and more. And believe it or not, but this hardly stops here. In fact, the latest initiative from Microsoft designed to use Linux in tandem with Windows involves data recovery. Jamie Cannon, OSS/Community Manager at Microsoft pointed to a technical analysis describing in minute detail various techniques that permit the recovery of Windows data via Linux.
