    You see them all the time in sentences with “Open Source vs MS” :P
    It’s fair to give them the benefit of the doubt. But with Microsoft, most of the time, is just for publicity. It’s just not them…
    Both open source and closed source have a place in the software industry… I don’t want Microsoft to vanish, but I wouldn’t want them to do this just for appearances
