AbandonedTrolley Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Yup pretty nice gesture from Microsoft.

Skyfrog Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 And their point is? To wish Linux a happy 20th. Why does it have to be something serious?

neufuse Veteran Posted July 22, 2011 Veteran Share Posted July 22, 2011 zzzzz there is no money in FOSS. Ask yourself why Apple has never made any software to run on Linux. Because Apple is narcissistic? The only reason they made iTunes work on windows was because of the big demand for it, Quicktime was a fall over from old days, and Safari was just a push to get people into more apple products and to run on the IE must die steam train Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1014018-microsofts-20th-birthday-present-to-linux/#findComment-594181234 Share on other sites More sharing options...

tsupersonic Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Microsoft's PR department is good - between this and sending Mozilla free cake during a new firefox launch. I wish some companies would make nice gestures (/cough Apple, you paying attention)?

tiagosilva29 Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 And their point is?So sum it up: "Linux has antisocial personality disorder (but it's okay, because we tolerate you)."This is obviously a trolling message and clear standard front page material.

ichi Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 zzzzz there is no money in FOSS. Ask yourself why Apple has never made any software to run on Linux. Although whatever Apple makes hardly means anything about whether money can be made on a platform or not, they actually did sell Shake for Linux up until when the product was finally discontinued for all platforms Other companies like Discreet, SideFX or Autodesk are still selling professional software for Linux.
