The "individual developer" you're talking about is a former Microsoft employee

  So Microsoft’s plan to extend Linux includes getting former employees to do it?

    Wouldn't anyone with a pension or shares in a company want it to succeed?

      but that's the employees sole intent, and not the "firm". People really get riled up with some brands, but I think brands are really just people who operate the brand collectively, often with an emphasis on the leadership that gets to guide the sail. Gates and Ballmer are past.

        How is Gates past? Doesn't he still own the majority share but just someone else is the face of the company? I would assume, as a majority share holder, your interests and ethics would remain the same.
