Back in late 2016 a lot was made about a 20+ year Oracle/Linux veteran at ORCL jumping ship to Microsoft to lead their burgeoning Linux group. 9 months later the guy returned to Oracle. Always thought that spoke a little bit to the quality of OEL, especially after this profile from BI: https://www.businessinsider.com/wim-coekaerts-microsoft-open-source-executive-interview-2016-8 https://www.businessinsider.com/wim-coekaerts-microsoft-open... MSFT and Linux seem to be doing cool things right now, so I assume he returned to Oracle our of some love for the product, and not because he didn’t like what he saw at MSFT.
