- 7dare 8y agoThat is still conspiracy and not "Microsoft killing a project".
- kara_jade 8y agoSo, hypothetically of course, if Microsoft subtly let the new Mayor Dieter Reiter know that they will only build their new headquarter in Munich if Windows was to replace LiMux, then what about this could not be considered as Microsoft killing LiMux? Sure, they didn't directly pull the plug, but that's semantics.
