You said "Everyone who has ever bet against Microsoft [...] has been wrong", that's not my interpretation, that's your words. Unless you're going to argue that them spending $8Bn on Skype doesn't count as "taking an interest in" or their multiple legal attacks on Android weren't "trying to close up or eliminate" competition?

- advael 3y agoYes, you can indeed make sentences mean different things by omitting entire important clauses from them. You have clearly misread what I said. Microsoft did indeed fuck up skype, and try to attack android, and this is in fact consistent with my claim that Microsoft will try to enclose or eliminate any software they take an interest in. My point being that you can't trust microsoft with stewardship over a tool that's free or open. I get that it's embarassing to misread something, but you're not only doubling down about your misunderstanding, but trying to have a completely irrelevant argument with me based on your misinterpretation
