Except all the key players of this strategy are gone and Microsoft has embraced (full stop) open source as much as any major corporation in recent years.

But don't let actual evidence stop your pitchforks.

I see that Microsoft is not a corporation that is evil by design and that they are doing exciting stuff as well -- I don't hate them.

However, I am keeping my skepticism when they embrace open-source and am curious which 'actual evidence' you are referring to?

So far, many open-source efforts look more like marketing to me. For instance, WSL makes sense to keep people in a Microsoft environment (and to me at seems that more and more frameworks favor Linux and Mac over Windows).
