This is the ultimate embrace, extend move. Hopefully it means MS has reconciled itself to the fact that it cannot easily extinguish Linux. I would expect MS to use this position to divert headlines away from the concept of free software, and toward the MS brand; and to introduce dependencies to third-party software that makes it difficult to extract MS proprietary code entirely from the Linux ecosystem.

I think we need a bot to call EEE every time Microsoft is mentioned.

I don't think they are necessarily doing the extinguish part anymore as a primary strategy. More like embrace, extend, entangle.

Making people want to use your product was a good business strategy last I heard.
