The Ubuntu LogoEDIT: Microsoft have now removed it, this post shall remain dedicated to its memory. Laughing

Yes, that's right, it's here: http://www.windowsmarketplace.com/details...

Listed on Windows Market Place under BIOS/System updates. The Windows Market Place motto of "Find. Try. Buy." doesn't quite fit, but nevertheless it is quite a gem for any windows user to stumble upon.

Quite why this is here I have no idea, it seems a bit like McDonalds advertising Burger King on the side of their BigMac boxes... which would be even more weird if McDonalds were to claim that Burger King infringed on 235 of its (unspecified) patents!

It would appear that there is some connection between cnet's download.com and the Windows Market Place, so perhaps it has ended up there automatically. Whatever the reason, I am sure Microsoft will remove it as soon as it is brought to their attention. Until then though, lets hope as many Windows users find it as possible Laughing
