don't be stupid. holy cow.

compatibility is not an EEE tactic. embracing alone is not anything other than embracing.

where is the extending and extinguishing of Linux? name ONE thing that is possible in WSL that is not possible without it. just one.

where is the extending and extinguishing of .net? of Yammer? of Teams? where are these extensions to Linux or Android? what's been extinguished?

You people really drank the kool-aid didn't you? Think for yourselves for once.

if you answer, I don't want rumors, I want facts. bring me pictures of spiderman or get the hell out of my office.

No personal attacks, please.

Personally, I wouldn't put it in certain terms like the GP has, but it is not out of the question for me.

You are aware that EEE is in /phases/, right? Embracing is just the first one.

Or maybe we just haven't forgotten history? In case you want to learn or refresh the memory:

- http://birdhouse.org/beos/byte/30-bootloader/ - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halloween_documents - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Microsoft_Cor.... - https://www.justice.gov/atr/case/us-v-microsoft-corporation-... - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ExFAT (the patent wasn't released to the OIN until 2019)

history is present, certainly, but that's all I see. History.

got anything recent? no one ever cites anything recent. meanwhile, Google and Meta are doing nefarious stuff today and no one cares... behavior only mattered in the 1990s, I guess?

one might say that the logic here is twisty turny, but in truth people just don't like Microsoft, and they won't admit that they have a very strong bias against Microsoft. I would not even comment on this of people just admitted their bias. but all I see are references to things which are approaching 30 years old.

it's apparently supremely bad when MS does something in the 1990s but things that go on today are fine. Unless it's Microsoft...

Everyone has their eyes focused on Microsoft waiting for something that may never come, but absolutely sure it will come, while they are ignoring everything around them.

wasn't a personal attack. people aren't stupid, to me, actions are stupid, and things people say are stupid. I was attacking the opinion as stated, not the person. "stupid is as stupid does."
