Vladimir Putin loves puppies!
Summary: The ‘Microsoft loves Linux’ nonsense cannot be put to rest, as that tired old lie keeps resurfacing in the media
Linking to a rather poor article from Matt Weinberger (saying that “Microsoft is working with its most bitter enemies”), iophk, our reader, called it “entryism.”
“Also,” he wrote, “can any normal person or team even build one of the containers from source? I thought not. Between stuff like systemd and certain containers, we’re seeing a new kind of closed, proprietary software.”
“Between stuff like systemd and certain containers, we’re seeing a new kind of closed, proprietary software.” –iophkWeinberger wrote another article a short moment ago. It’s the latest Microsoft puff piece with the “Microsoft loves Linux” mythology. After Russinovich glorification (the man who pretends there is a “new Microsoft” and also openwashes Windows) we inevitably see this rather bizarre new article in which Microsoft wants to sell us the illusion that it stopped attacking Linux, despite attacking it on many ways, e.g. UEFI ‘secure’ boot, patent lawsuits, bribes etc. As a reminder, see these posts (a series of six) from a few months ago:
Microsoft Hates Linux – Part I – The UEFI Attack on GNU/LinuxMicrosoft Hates Linux – Part II – Patent Lawsuits Against Android/Linux Still Going On, New Ones FiledMicrosoft Hates Linux – Part III – Abducting the Competition (Android)Microsoft Hates Linux – Part IV – Deleting, Attacking Android/Linux From WithinMicrosoft Hates Linux – Part V – Dumping and Surveillance to Counter GNU/Linux InsurgenceMicrosoft Hates Linux – Part VI – Propaganda Wars Against Free Software Facilitated While Media Control is Secured and Abused
Microsoft hates GNU/Linux. When it participates it’s in order to make Linux Windows-dependent (see Hyper-V for instance) or devour the platform in various other ways so as to make Microsoft’s non-Windows cash cows take over, in due course. This has nothing to do with Free/libre software as trying to make it proprietary software-dependent is not a contribution. It’s derailment. █
