You never were.
You'll never be.
>>59615076
you destroyed all your competition through software lock-in and deliberately coding in compatibility issues with everything else, and you tried to sue the shit out of everyone
no, never, fuck proprietary software forever

I do not know alot about Satiya Nadella but I have heard him speak. When he speaks I believe him and I believe he wants to help the open source community. Not just out of the kindness of his heart but because he has made it clear it affects Microsoft's bottom line that Linux gets improved upon. So I think things are going to change alot for us in the next few years because of this leader.

They are pushing for it because they want the minority of the windows userbase that actually cares but isn't satisfied with windows 10 to fuck off for real. Even Microsoft wants you to stop using winshit.

MS has tried this tactic on Linux before and it didn't work
Fuck off, Microsoft
They never change, they still try to create vendor lock in via APIs and other crap. DX12 is a perfect example. They only open things when they have totally failed to gain control.
I doubt they can even function as a normal company due to management. They would probably make more money if they fired almost everyone and just kept a small group to maintain their profitable products. Investors don't like that, so they endlessly hurl money at failed attempts to grow such as bing, xbox and windows phone. Investors don't understand tech much so they prefer getting a 2% dividend with unrealistic speculation of huge growth rather than 5% with it being run like a utility company.

Salty Nutella's just another corporate drone pushing for the eradication of privacy and security. He wouldn't say anything unless he thought it would help Microsoft datamine more people.

graphical RPMs that prompt the user where they want to install things. if you want to install IIS or Office to /var/log or /sbin or /root go right ahead, next next next, advertisement, license agreement, data collection checkbox on finish screen
fuck windows and every bit of windows culture. it's time to pull up the ladder to protect the clubhouse

Microsoft has been contributing to the kernel for years, as is google and many other companies.

>Microsoft has been contributing to the kernel for years,
Mostly because they forced to do. Anyway they do next to nothing aside compatibility patches for their inhouse cloud and VM shit. At least Google fixed networking scheduler and several security issues on user and kernel space.
>>59615448
That's why they continue to patent troll any open source project.
Just tell Microsoft to fuck off
>>59615448
It started with Ballmer though.
