Assuming for the sake of argument that they were acting wholly from benevolence anyway, that dynamic would have changed regardless of whether it was Microsoft or Google acquiring them.
The reason I point out the difference in vibe between the two companies is that while sure, there are definitely valid reasons to be skeptical here, I am leaning towards more optimism because it was Microsoft who made the acquisition and not Google.
- toofy 8y agoYeah I’m not sure any of the big tech empires purchasing GitHub would be necessarily better than the others. It would have been nice to see them bought by someone who we could consider neutral and someone who didn’t have such a long history of using products to leverage market dominance in other areas. But that’s not what happened :/ Im hopeful that ms stays out of it and let’s it remain it’s own entity but practically speaking I just really don’t see that happening.
