Even worse, if you mention the "telemetry" in VSCode, you get a PR barrage of downvotes and comments saying it's "optional" and Microsoft isn't like facebook and they don't depend on data. Nevermind that data is the direction nadella wants to take microsoft - free windows 10, linkedin, github, etc.

The "love" you see for microsoft, gates, etc here is bizarre.

The thing I like about open source is that you don’t need to ask permission to modify, expand, or target. Still, I would never run DirectX on my computers.

You forgot PowerShell and SQL Server.

This whole situation makes me feel a little sick if I'm honest. It's ok to have platforms, but it's not ok to blur the lines because everyone needs an exit plan.

I also forgot .net

Microsoft "Loves" Linux and open source the same way a tapeworm loves a healthy digestive system.
