So your argument is "but, but google is doing it, too!"? ... and that makes it better/worse/look a three-headed monkey is behind you?

Yes, because apparently for the MS hating crowd everything is fine when Google and others are is doing it. How are you enjoying the BSD upstream updates done by Sony?

  So monkey and some "crowd" supposedly is doing something, okay.

    Luckily I don't have a FOSS agenda that pretends that some corporations are better than others with human characteristics. The time of rainbow colours and cheerful music is long gone for me.

That's the default response you get from MS "inclined" people, I've seen it everywhere. I had to stop visiting the Windows 10 reddit because it's so tiring. And there's also the anti-floss comments. I truly believe they are not paid by MS and aren't paid shills, they are just people that obsess over brand wars because they are bored, or have a lot of investiment in MS related tech (time, money, career) and feel like they need to preserve that, or in some cases it's just severe mental health issues. If you think it's hyperbole you need to lurk there a few weeks and see it for yourself. I'm talking with technical merits aside, because there are a lot of MS technologies I would love to use if things were different. But I just don't trust them, just like I would never install e.g. a Google Drive native client in my Linux machine. The EEE debates are very boring and I understand it can feel like MS is being singled out but they deserve all of it. I often wish MS rises to the top again just so newer generations can experience first hand what that feels like. But now that Google and other companies perfected the boiling techniques I'm not sure it would be noticed. I wish we could all stop fighting each other over these issues and just collectively bashed and scrutinized ALL the companies together, everyone would benefit. But that's easy to say, I can't even read about MS or Google without getting irrationally mad.
