I would say that porting MSSQL to Linux, open-sourcing .NET and ChakraCore (amongst other things) is definitely a change from the "Linux / OpenSource is a cancer" days, no?
Microsoft is in no way going to become the next Red Hat in running a service-only model onto of Open Source products. It doesn't make sense for them to do that. But the fact that they have accepted Open Source as a possibility for some of their products, and put that into action is a step in the right direction.
- cyphar 10y agoThe fact that they are happy to ship proprietary products that are known to have backdoors doesn't make me believe they've changed their views on user freedom. It's a relevance ploy, nothing more.
