First off a disclaimer:

Personally I'm not vehemently against this takeover, like others are. That said, I'm not super enthusiastic about it either. I've seen MS acquisitions go both good and bad before, so I'll simply wait and see how it turns out before passing judgement.

Consider me neutral[1] at this point.

> Ah, a voice of reason

I'm not going to argue "reason" or not, but the Linux foundation is not impartial in these matters: Microsoft is a platinum Linux Foundation partner.

They're obviously going to be biased.

A claim of bias requires more than "there's money involved", though.

You're assuming bias. There may or may not be bias in this statement.
