- williamaadams 7y agook, so it is exactly the move of someone trying to kill it all from the inside... But really, it's something easily judged over time. Everyone will be able to judge how our open source attitude is in coming years. And hay, look, there's more absorption of Linux into Windows... Is that embrace extend, or recognize reality? Or hold on for dear life? From my perspective, it's evolution, and nothing but good.
- krageon 7y agoOnce you as a company have a certain track record, I'd say it's not unreasonable for an outsider to shift from "just wait and see if it'll be terrible!" to a more proactive stance. In cases like this, past actions do model future behaviour.
- jaclaz 7y agoI don't know, personally I remain faithful to the classics: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeo_Danaos_et_dona_ferentes https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeo_Danaos_et_dona_ferentes and cautious about these kind of corporate mentality changes, it seems to have been proved a valid approach for the last 2 thousand years or so.
