Nomad_ Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Linus: Microsoft Hatred is a Disease http://www.osnews.com/story/21887/Linus_Microsoft_Hatred_is_a_Disease I'm a big believer in "technology over politics". I don't care who it comes from, as long as there are solid reasons for the code, and as long as we don't have to worry about licensing etc issues. I may make jokes about Microsoft at times, but at the same time, I think the Microsoft hatred is a disease. I believe in open development, and that very much involves not just making the source open, but also not shutting other people and companies out. There are 'extremists' in the free software world, but that's one major reason why I don't call what I do 'free software' any more. I don't want to be associated with the people for whom it's about exclusion and hatred."

guru Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 Top Five Linux Contributor: MicrosoftCats and dogs; apples and oranges; Linux and Microsoft. Two of these three things do not go together. Would you believe that Microsoft?yes Microsoft?was the fifth largest contributor to the soon to be released Linux 3.0 kernel? Believe it. In a Linux Weekly News story, currently only available to subscribers, an analysis of Linux 3.0 contributors reveals that Microsoft was the fifth largest corporate contributer to Linux 3.0. While only 15h overall, that still puts Microsoft behind only Red Hat, Intel, Novell, and IBM in contributing new code to this version of Linux. To be exact, Microsoft developer K. Y Srinivasan gets the credit for helping to improve Linux. Of course, as you might guess, neither Srinivasan nor Microsoft are doing this due to any particular love tor Linux per se. http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/top-five-linux-contributor-microsoft/9254 Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/1014018-microsofts-20th-birthday-present-to-linux/page/2/#findComment-594184222 Share on other sites More sharing options...
