Dude, it's 2016 - that was twenty years ago.
- coderdude 10y agoSeriously old memes. At least we don't still have to deal with the cringe worthy "M$".
- kayone 10y agoI still see it here and there, and it's great sign about author's bias. usually saves me from reading the rest of the comment.
- dsabanin 10y agoSome things never change, it's in Microsoft's DNA. They are just luring people back in with their open source initiatives because they saw that their stack was becoming obsolete. As soon as they're back on the horse, we'll see the same behavior we used to see from them. That's my opinion of course. Fool me once...
- 13of40 10y agoDude, I heard the One Floppy is buried in the oak forests behind the Celtic Bayou and can be used to resurrect the Old Ones, who shall bring about a new era of M$$$$$$$....
- blackoil 10y agoUnless they initiate extend step, it is just a Fool's cry. EEE works for open standards, I do not see them trying to fork WebGL/HTML.
- cyphar 10y agoMicrosoft still acts unethically today. NT still has backdoors, almost their entire stack is proprietary. Just because they have made some parts of what they do free software doesn't turn them into the technological equivalent of Jesus. Yes, I am happy that they are freeing some of the stuff they do, but it's clear that they're doing it as a marketing move not because they care about user freedom. So I don't see them ever making the whole stack free software.
- Ezhik 10y agoThey're not Jesus, but they are not Satan either. I've seen EEE called on every single good gesture Satya's Microsoft did, and it's getting old. Is Microsoft the savior of OSS? No. Is the company doing something nice by open sourcing components? Yes.
- wfunction 10y ago> NT still has backdoors For someone speaking of ethics you really can't just leave this here without any support...

- wfunction 10y agoThey seem exaggerated for "back doors", because it's possible to avoid them. Yes some defaults might be malicious but the bar for calling something a backdoor is higher than just malicious.
- pjmlp 10y agoHave you seen the backdoors on Mac OS X, customized Android versions and every other commercial OSes out there?
