VFAT patent enforcement was sufficient to declare a permanent personal vendetta against MS.

Needless to say MS did half dozen such things during the 00s.

So basically irrelevant reasons in 2024.

Yes, that dog there did bite your brother and sister and cousin and neighbour but that is months ago so basically irrelevant reasons in 2024. Go on, give it a hug.

Right. Becuase Apple has never, gasp, done anything anti-competitive or shot down open standards.

What does Apple have to do with this? Also why not mention Google, or Samsung, or Huawei or any other supplier of something which resembles an operating environment?

The article is about Linux so it's assumed the alternative to whatever Microsoft tries to push is found there, not at the Fruit Factory or the Googleplex or the CCP.

Read the original comment I replied to. It's relevant because they mentioned Windows, macOS, and Linux but swear not to use Windows. And people often blindly bash Windows and Microsoft when macOS and Apple are 10x worse, which was my most recent point.

What your point here exactly?

They are both shit companies who peddle shit and anyone with half a brain would be wise to steer clear.
