That a bunch of Microsoft operatives suddenly want to portray Linux as a failure (not “success story”) because of something like “diversity” overlooks the simple fact that kernels are highly technical programs that, regardless of the tools used for version control, would repel people who aren’t highly specialised. This has nothing to do with race or gender it’s all about experience and having a track record (for chain of trust and accountability)
People who cannot cope with something like patch via E-mail likely don’t know much about the kernel, let alone know how to program so well (their code might do more harm than good). A barrier to entry (learning curve) is not always a bad thing, as the University of Minnesota proved just months ago. We don’t want to repeat many of the counterarguments from last year, so instead we’ll just remind readers that this isn’t about ease of use but about control. In fact, we covered this about half a dozen time almost a year ago when the plot first surfaced and many kernel hackers rightly complained about it it started with Microsoft operatives inside the Linux Foundation and it didn’t take long before they tried to pocket Linux inside GitHub (whose COO is in the Board of the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation, in effect bossing Linus Torvalds). They are trying to take over Linux, not just the so-called ‘Linux’ Foundation.
Microsoft is inciting politicians in Europe and the US against “GAFA” (everyone but Microsoft!) to distract from its very own and vastly worse takeover and monopolisation, including abduction of Free software. Another new report, from a more left-leaning publisher, says/quotes: ““I’m trying to figure out why one of the biggest offenders, of Big Tech, has mysteriously avoided the scrutiny of this committee and this broad swath of bills that seek to radically rewrite our antitrust law,” Massie said, waving a draft of the bill that he said was shared with Microsoft before it was public. This explains a lot regarding the very recent (albeit pattern of a longstanding pattern) and very biased coverage with slanted political focus. The video above introduces folks to this new article someone from Microsoft sent us this article. If they weren’t, they would not spread far and eventually they would simply perish. We need to smile at Novell while we pull the trigger.”ĭon’t be misled by smiles and shallow gestures. Any discussions beforehand are a waste of time. Microsoft’s Jim Allchin, a Microsoft VP at one time, said “I feel we are much too smug in dealing with Novell” and on a separate occasion he said: “We need to slaughter Novell before they get stronger….If you’re going to kill someone, there isn’t much reason to get all worked up about it and angry. Of course it says that it “loves Linux”, but that’s just a deliberate smokescreen. We try to focus on new attacks, new threats, or the latest developments.Īt the moment, Microsoft is attacking Linux. Repeating old information shouldn’t be necessary. Cults are good at those things.”The profound issues associated with Microsoft’s history have been covered here for many years. “Don’t be misled by smiles and shallow gestures. It is simply like a cult that poisons everything and bribes everyone, even its enemies (to get them to defect, to effectively switch sides). THERE is a longstanding problem associated with Microsoft lobbying and entryism.
