- aespinoza 12y agoYou know but this is actually very good. This in the end will make it better for the developers. And I loved that the licensing is MIT instead of Mono's LGPL for the runtime. This will allow Jetbrains to create a good Intelli(j|n) IDE for C#. :D
- wernercd 12y agoaka "Thanks for giving us what we want, but you're so evil that I can't get past the $ in the name Micro$oft." Stay closed source? People bitch. Open source the software? People bitch. Can't win.

- akmiller 12y agoYou really need to step back and look at how much Microsoft has already changed under the leadership of Satya Nadella. It does appear that he has a completely different vision of what Microsoft will be in the future compared to what Ballmer had.
- GhotiFish 12y agoThe devil you know eh? Microsoft has being at the locus of so much bad behaviour in the tech sector that I really have to wonder. Even if Stallman started running the company, how much could it change?
- nightski 12y agoI'd say it started long before Satya Nadella became CEO. However it is definitely continuing in the right direction.
