Don't forget the covert funding of the SCO trial, the press coverage of which absolutely did its job in frustrating my efforts to get Linux more widely adopted in my Fortune 250. I don't apologize for my "ill will" and suspicion. You lie down with dogs; you wake up with fleas. I get it: in some cases, you play the hand you're dealt. But don't expect me to make or infer some distinction about which side you're on. I think a lot of the apologists for Microsoft here on HN just didn't grow up with the Microsoft of the 90's, and didn't see them buy, steal, or destroy every interesting technology to come along in the late 90's and 2000's. (Shall I go through THAT list?) I suppose they can be forgiven for having rose-tinted lenses that only see back about 5 years. To them I say, just let us have our bitterness. It's been earned.
