Microsoft loves Linux – a little too much?

Looks like Microsoft is always going to be Microsoft. People that think they have turned a new leaf and are all different and hip thanks to Satya are kidding themselves.

There are SO MANY Linux distributions that overlapping a name is hardly a big deal (and the registration is not that big a deal either...as the article points out itself, despite the registration, there is a Linux distro also named Maui).

The Microsoft employee’s response was pretty bad, but in a company with hundreds of thousands of devs, one inappropriate response by a developer hardly says anything.

Edit: He’s not even an employee. He’s a Microsoft MVP. That’s like complaining that Red Hat is evil based on what a random programmer with a RH certification says.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. Forever Microsoft.

By default you can't trust any for profit corporation. They will always do what is profitable over anything and everything else, as they are required to.
