I look at it more from a “what’s right” point of view. There is nothing “right” about rewarding Microsoft for offering Linux compatibility in Windows. Microsoft has billions of dollars that it could have invested into its own infrastructure all this time. Instead, they delivered essentially nothing: for YEARS, it has been a pain in the ass to transform any Windows installation into a barely-useful development machine. Oh, and even if you managed to do it, you still had to hope that you wouldn’t encounter some OS-ruining problem that required a full reinstall in 5 months. Instead of creating decent software all these years and building real value, now Microsoft is trying to shoehorn free software such as "bash" into Windows and calling it a feature. To hell with them: not good enough, damn it! Anyone who has been waiting for "bash" on Windows should have been investing in free software projects instead, sending the money where it deserved to go. Think about this: if you’ve given less than $100 to open software projects over the past decade and you’re planning to hand EVEN MORE MONEY to Microsoft over "bash", then you are rewarding the wrong people.
