I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

    I don’t think the world is black or white. Of course Microsoft can make bad choices and prioritize profit, but Microsoft isn’t a person or and entity. MS is an enterprise driven by people that work there.

    Linux community or any other community can also make bad choices, afterall it’s also people-driven and people are flawed.

    I don’t excuse MS for really bad choices, but also don’t blame it. I just think that’s better to see the world complex as it is, not by judging stuff as ‘bad’ or ‘good’.

      While I can see the merit of your sentiment here, and would generally agree the world exists on a spectrum and not some binary scale of yes or no, black or white. Like others have said, with mottos like “Embrace, Extend, Extinguish” how can one ignore the bad that Microsoft brings to the table.
