Microsoft loves Linux – a little too much?

Looks like Microsoft is always going to be Microsoft. People that think they have turned a new leaf and are all different and hip thanks to Satya are kidding themselves.

There are SO MANY Linux distributions that overlapping a name is hardly a big deal (and the registration is not that big a deal either...as the article points out itself, despite the registration, there is a Linux distro also named Maui).<p>The Microsoft employee’s response was pretty bad, but in a company with hundreds of thousands of devs, one inappropriate response by a developer hardly says anything.<p>Edit: He’s not even an employee. He’s a Microsoft MVP. That’s like complaining that Red Hat is evil based on what a random programmer with a RH certification says.

Embrace, extend, extinguish. Forever Microsoft.

By default you can&#x27;t trust any for profit corporation. They will always do what is profitable over anything and everything else, as they are required to.
