Yeah, if a student is taught Github as part of their curriculum they're more likely to stick with it.

I can't really knock it, but at the same time, this has been Microsoft's strategy for a long time, with students learning Office in school but no competitors, so they take it with them in their private and professional life.

It's a difficult one though, given that both github and office are pretty standardized / ubiquitous everywhere.

I think this particular gripe has nothing to do with Microsoft as it predates the acquisition by quite some time.
