Microsoft has declared its love for Linux and is a premium member of the Linux foundation. That is good and well but is this "true love" or a case of "keep your enemies closer"?
Given the history with EEE and Cancer the relationship will take some healing.
So is this a one-sided crush from Microsoft or are they loved back?
I think I know the answer to that one.
If Microsoft gets really active in providing hardware that will take a vanilla Linux installation not hindering with hardware locked keys then I think the community would come around.
That would mean that Microsoft will help Linux also when it is not installed on a MS platform - which is ridiculous anyway.
All the worlds supercomputers are powered by Linux and now they should fit into the inferior MS platform?
Why would anyone want to try to fit a Buss into a VW beetle?
It does not make sense so if our new premium member will help us lift the Hardware limitations on some laptops - they would get the cred.
As it is Microsoft is not a very trusted member premium or not..... Is there hope for that to change?
