That's ridiculous, what % of software companies open source the software they kill? 0.1% maybe? Did Google open source Reader or Dodgeball when it killed those?
Google was heavily criticized for killing Reader. Why should we not criticize Microsoft?
Criticize them all you want but "Feels like the MS of the 90's is back." isn't criticism it's FUD meant to invoke fears of how closed down software was back then.
