The problem with that is the idea that Microsoft wants to control Linux, it can't, that's impossible with the way open source is set up. If Microsoft really wanted to control Linux they would go after the systems that use Linux and even then their control would be severely restricted due to the nature of open source.He is wrong.
Yep some random guy on the internets just said Linus Trovalds is wrong about something to do with Linux.
Linus is an idealist, obviously. And that means he tends to think of things in their idealistic circumstances. That Microsoft is just a friendly company that just wants to create products to serve people.
Yeah right.
That is naive at best, idiotic at worst.
Microsoft is OBVIOUSLY out for Microsoft. And what Microsoft wants is to find the holy grail of a Linux product... can't charge for the kernel or the OS...but you can charge for a service or product that uses that OS. Microsoft has thrown in the towel (finally) in thinking they can make a device to compete with Android/Apple. They have repeatedly failed miserably trying and have lost 100's $millions in the process. So - if you can't beat em' join em'.
And by join em' - what I really mean is control them. Microsoft wants to find a way to monetize Linux for their benefit. Period.
