The Greeks providing us with this free giant horse statue is nothing but nice!

Microsoft has acted unethically from it's inception until just recently when they've been backed into a corner. For decades they've repeated shown that they're willing to damage the entire industry if it means that they end up with more control over it.

Why would you trust that this recent change of heart is permanent given that their hand was forced? When they start acting ethically when they don't have to - that's when I'll reconsider my position.

I did some recon at their office in cambridge last night, and it was just too funny to listen to the words out of their evangelists/devs/data scientists mouths, its like they are trying to appeal a caricature of what they think people on the FOS(software/silicon) community want to work on/for lol Sadly they'll attract a lot of desperate college students just chomping at the bit to work for them lol

note: (behavior not unique to $msft, same is true of $aapl, $goog, $fb and those who want to emulate such…)
