   I don't understand why people (with allocated seats) are in a rush to board - less time in that little seat the better, for me.

   Yeh. They don't pay us to socialise, and I can count the number of times on my middle finger of how many people who at the offices I've worked at I'd want to spend my free time with. Strangely, now that I'm working remot

   That is already the case. The underlying "protocol" is git. And if the functionality of github became the basic minimum, each provider will still provide their value-added on top of that. If that sort of thing is forbidden, then t

    I disagree that Chrome it will become stagnated like IE. Microsoft had no desire to improve IE and make the web a more desirable platform than Windows. (I'd suggest it still doesn't) Google, however, directly benefit from the web

    Any company who is small enough to not host their own code repo are of little interest to Microsoft.

    Great news for open source. Perhaps now all the companies in the MS silo are going to learn how OSS is something that can be taken seriously. I've worked in enterprise where using open source tends to be frowned upon. This was mostly d

    I'm sure that will happen right away, considering they're "all-in on open source".

    I'm not one to praise Microsoft without reason - I've worked the last 2 decades with their tech. However, I don't see this as a negative thing. Provided they don't trash it like most of their acquisitions - and bear in m

    I think they're on step 2 now. They already embraced it by adding 1k repos. They're now going to extend it. We'll soon have an msgit, which is git with extensions that only github will support.

    Linux support was the best thing Microsoft have done for .NET. It's now a viable option.

    So what gets "trusted"? The certificate, or the publisher?

    Thanks! I was considering an EV, but will now opt for the poor option. It's essentially a protection racket with price segmentation.

    No, piracy is piracy. In fact, the piracy you talk of isn't even "piracy".

    Why can't they just make it opt-in? When one of my kids ask for something and I say no, they might ask again. But the more they continue to ask, the more determined I am to say no. The difference between me and Microsoft (in this conte

    I understand how you feel, but no. Having been a FF/NS/Mozilla browser user since the 90s, I know it's not nice to be treated like a 2nd class citizen. However, unlike the current Edge/IE users, I made a choice.
