rbanffy is anti-Microsoft, and doesn't waste a second in making it known. It's no use trying to reason or discuss with him about this - others have tried.

- rbanffy 16y agoI am not "anti-Microsoft". I am just old enough. I also worry, considering recent moves (and that's not only from Microsoft), that some companies (Microsoft among them) may be taking strategic positions to disrupt the free and open-source software ecosystems that threaten their dominance of their niches. Yesterday, for instance, Oracle made a huge PR splash in the MySQL space. One can't ignore it.

- rbanffy 16y agoI'm also consistent. ;-) I've been able to observe Microsoft for about 30 years and one thing you learn is that they play hard. They too are very consistent.
- bad_user 16y agosome companies (Microsoft among them) may be taking strategic positions to disrupt the free and open-source software ecosystems Nice to join the party, some "Free Software proponents" have been doing that for years, doing nothing but going around and pissing on other people's efforts.
- rbanffy 16y agoCare to give an example?
- face 16y agoI'm glad that there are at least some people on HN who still understand the type of company Microsoft really is.
