Embrace, extend, extinguish is not new for MS, they have just upped the first parts in prep for the third. How people are so blind to this I dont know... Windows 10 is a perfect example of MS true goals.

Their true goals? To have their company make money? I don't see how this is an issue.

It's amazing how many HN members haven't left the 1990s.

For good reason. The battle for FOSS with the emphasis on F for Free (beer and speech) is still a very real one that will affect the future of technology as we know it. What amazes me is how much of hn has left that part of the 90s...

Which is why it's so important we embrace companies choosing to release FOSS. In order for the corporate world to push FOSS, they have to see that they're successful when they do it, and that it's possible for them to run businesses while contributing to and releasing their own work as FOSS.
