I can't believe you don't see the evil. Open your eyes. Just because a company pays 400 million for Xamarin and then open sources the Xamarin SDKs for Android

I can't believe you don't see the evil. Open your eyes. Just because a company pays 400 million for Xamarin and then open sources the Xamarin SDKs for Android, iOS, and Mac shouldn't fool you. People everywhere... revolt! If you can't tell, I am being sarcastic. I love Microsoft. People just believe what they want to believe. I'm sure they will never change.

Sometimes it's a virtue to hold a grudge. If people and companies are forgiven the instant they stop being abusive, then what's the disincentive to being abusive again? Microsoft did what they did because they had a monopoly position; they've changed now that they've lost it. There's absolutely nothing to say that they won't go right back to the way they were if they get a monopoly again. If someone has been hitting you with a stick for years, and then all the sudden shows up with a big smile because they've lost their stick and they think you could help them get it back, what kind of fool would help them?
