Was just chatting with someone about my feelings toward the "new" Microsoft. I admitted that, no matter what moves they'd make, I just wouldn't care, as I really can't forgive them as a company for all of the shitty, anti-progress moves they made. Embrace-and-extend anyone?

Thanks for the reminder (that I had forgotten about) of just one of the many actions they took that makes me wish corporate capitol punishment had been an option.

If I were BillG I'd be trying to philanthropize my heart out too.



Sadly i fear that many companies will do just the same given the chance, open source or not.


They're amoral entities that are effectively programmed to make the most money. So really they're working as intended if they do that shit because it allows them to make more money.
