I was curious what the Linux people think about Microsoft and any bad practices that most people should know about already?

    It used to be pretty bad, back when it was using all the dirty tricks it could invent to build its monopoly. By now though it’s just obsolete.

      Obsolete? Hardly. The Surface, GamePass, Xbox, GitHub, Skype and just general market dominance says otherwise. They only lost their effective monopoly due to antitrust lawsuits.

      Currently, there’s lots of better options out there, true, but it’s far from obsolete.

        Sure enough, it’s up there with Facebook and Saudi Aramco.
