I came here to say this. I am not sure why you got downvoted so much.
They have behaved in negative ways for a long time they will need to behave differently for quite a long time before they are trusted again.
They have cleaned up many but not all of their behaviors. They are still abusing patents against smaller android distributors. If they care about their patents they would sue Google or the AOSP steering group (or whoever runs it). If they were actually with an open ecosystem they wouldn't be doing those lawsuits.
In the context of Microsoft's behavior, blaming them is not an unreasonable default stance. Though when evidence does come along to the contrary someone holding such a stance must be willing to change it or be wrong.
- johansch 10y agoThis industry runs on young people. Old people are far and between. (In this context, old means anyone who actually experienced Microsoft's behavior between mid 80s and late 90s.) Most (80%) developer experiences these days are probably limited to their behavior from year ~2008 and onwards.
