Microsoft acquires sway over Linux systems
Microsoft acquires sway over Linux systems
Ahh. Apparently the person who told me was misled by this. They claimed Microsoft acquired Ubuntu to undermine the reputation of Linux, right?
The article mentions Microsoft's involvement with the Linux Foundation's board.
It's disappointing when Microsoft misuses customer funds for seemingly trivial reasons.
Microsoft has been taking pages out of the Linux book for some time. I remember when I took a Win Server 2003 course in 08/09, the instructor told us one of the biggest changes from Server 03 to 08 was the power of the command line. Which is where Linux gains a lot of its power from. Then you got the User Access Control that is similar to what pops up in Linux if you need to do a Sudo command aka need admin privileges. I wonder if they are doing this because they want to start supporting Linux in some way. I mean they already write software for Mac OS, iOS and Android. So maybe they want to make some of their software Linux capable. Seeing how people are not 100% warming up to Windows 10. Maybe in the future Microsoft will release its own Linux OS. Who knows.
