      Linus on Microsoft:

      But that’s true with any company that comes into Linux; they have their own objectives. And they want to do things their way because they have a reason for it." So, with Linux, “Microsoft tends to be mainly about Azure and doing all the stuff to make Linux work well for them,” he explained. Torvalds emphasized this is normal: “I mean, that’s just being part of the community.”

        Man you are barking up the wrong tree. My opinion about Microsoft is limited neither by Linus Torvalds’ opinion of Microsoft nor by the past 1 year of history regarding their behavior. I was around to witness all their past shenanigans, and I support Windows professionally.

        Greed and control are their only motivators, and telling me this is true for other companies also isn’t the win you might think it is with me.

          Those quotes were from 6 years ago. Let it go. If MS is contributing open source code that Linus approves of, it helps everyone.
