First comment? A Microsoft employee. Welcome to the Linux Foundation-connected LWN.

Linux Foundation

Microsoft: first we hijack the word "sudo" (for Windows), then we tell our staff (Lennart Poettering) to remove the original. 'Sudo' won't be the last casualty/roadkill. They also push TPM and backdoored ('secure') boot. This is an attack on billions of people who use computers. █
