> I feel like taking an extremely cautious stance in regards to Microsoft is very fair As someone who wrote their first code for Linux in 1998 (a research project, not upstreamed), the whole "Microsoft loves Linux" thing is almost exactly like "Magneto loves the X-Men". I mean, I'm glad they're not calling us a cancer anymore, but I don't believe for a second they're a fundamentally different company; and I don't trust them one bit. But the great thing about open-source is that bitter enemies can collaborate when it makes sense to do so.
