A quote from Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO at the time, 2001) is legendary: “Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches.” And now, two decades later, Microsoft runs Linux on Azure, contributes to the Linux kernel, and ships WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). 😁

“From Hate to ‘Love’: Microsoft’s Linux Conversion Story Nobody Asked For”
“From Hate to ‘Love’: Microsoft’s Linux Conversion Story Nobody Asked For” In 2001, Microsoft called Linux a cancer. In 2015, the same Microsoft printed T-shirts saying ‘Microsoft ♥ Linux.’ So the question writes itself: Can we trust someone who once tried to kill Linux, and now pretends to love it? When a company spends decades fighting open source, spreading FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt), and then suddenly claims to be its best friend — that’s not love, that’s strategic survival. Microsoft didn’t embrace Linux because it believed in freedom; it embraced it because the world stopped believing in Windows. Azure runs on Linux because reliability wins over pride. GitHub was bought because open-source developers stopped trusting Microsoft’s promises. Love isn’t born from lawsuits, patents, and monopolies. It’s born from respect, and that’s something Microsoft never had for the op

MICROSOFT: THE COMPANY THAT LOVES CHOICE — AS LONG AS YOU CHOOSE THEM
MICROSOFT: THE COMPANY THAT LOVES CHOICE — AS LONG AS YOU CHOOSE THEM Remember when Microsoft said it “loved Linux” after calling it a cancer? That’s like a hunter suddenly hugging the deer — right before installing telemetry updates on it. Every time you buy a laptop, you’re not just getting hardware — you’re buying an arranged marriage with Windows. You didn’t propose, you didn’t say “I do,” but there it is, smiling at you with a EULA thicker than your warranty. Refuse it, and your only “choice” is to admire your new, very shiny brick. They call it user freedom. We call it click here to surrender. And then there’s the refund fairy tale. According to Microsoft, if you reject the Windows license, you should ask your laptop manufacturer for a refund. The manufacturer, in turn, says “talk to Microsoft.” The circle of responsibility spins faster than Windows Update on a bad Wi-Fi signal

UPDATE
[ Photo ]
[ Photo ] We know that updates are important to maintain, patch and secure the OS, but why Windows makes updates automatically downloaded and installed? In the other hand, on Linux, you update and upgrade your Linux OS manually. Why? And why on Windows it needs to restart the computer, and on Linux, it does not? Linux, born to be root, not to reboot 😁😁😁
