I've been watching MS for the last 23 years. So I'm not oblivious to history. ;) And granted that's how PR works, but the problem with carrying distrust to defend against it is that is eventually makes one paranoid. Personally, I aspire to objective reevaluation at the current point in time. In 2018? Microsoft historically did terrible things to open source, Balmer was an asshole about casting it as us vs them, and they still have substantial legacy OS and Office revenue streams to protect. At the same time, their cloud business is rapidly growing, they've realized the only way to compete there is to embrace open source, and that's beginning to permeate the rest of the company. Largely via promoting someone from the dev / server / cloud business as CEO.
