![]() Really, the main benefit of that is ability to use Windows 10 where in the past it was necessary to boot into Linux or use a Linux VM. Whybehere: "I don't think Ubuntu in Windows 10 should be perceived as Microsoft doing something positive for Linux. Remember that!Īnd here's a sample of responses to the original poster's blistering comments about Microsoft and Linux: Microsoft will always be hostile to Linux and free software. Remember the "patents" they have that they will use to threaten our ways, even if not directly. Microsoft, if they could, would press a button and kill Linux and FLOSS over night. ![]() The "old Microsoft" is still the "new Microsoft", only the face of the company has changed - CEO and PR. No single change of CEO will fix the ways of the "old Microsoft". His / the "old Microsoft" dirty business ways are fully entrenched in the company. But don't let your guard down - Microsoft will ALWAYS hate Linux, even if you can't directly see it.ĭo you really think Bill Gates, while no longer chairman or CEO (he still works there tho), would really let his company, his ways, his wants and direction etc all go down the toilet and have someone else come in and take it all in a new direction? No… Gates is very smart and ruthless. Now I don't know what Shuttleworth and Canonical are playing at or what benefit they may get from the deal they made, perhaps more Ubuntu market share (and money). ![]() You'll probably find that Nadella has internally said to everyone "publicly, we LOVE Linux and FLOSS, internally it's still business as usual" and changed the PR machine as a result. But it's not - Microsoft HATES Linux, this will NEVER change! Again, the only thing that has change is the CEO and as a result, the PR. Yeah, yeah sure, I'm off my rocker, this was all years ago etc. Then there's Ballmer's "Linux is cancer" etc. Some even go into detail about their plotting with things like the Vista Ready program in order to trick consumers (they basically don't give a shit) etc.Īgain, take your pick - Get The FUD, whatever you choose. All are in PDF format and have been unsealed (thankfully). Just remember the Iowa consumer case files ( ) which has a lot of internal emails from Microsoft, many of them basically state their love for all things Windows and MS and hatrid for everything else. Remember: All they did was get a new CEO, the company culture is still there.Īll that's changed is instead of publicly hating on Linux, they now publicly love Linux, but are really still very hostile to Linux. Will the all the "nice" PR and news of Microsoft (seemingly) getting close to Linux, it's easy to forget how Microsoft IS hostile to Linux and everything open source.
