Of course if your take on "open source" is different, those points might not be as important to you. This all results in taking control from end users, because that's how Microsoft's business works. That's why the takeover of Github makes sense for them! Azure is somewhat successful with those corporations already deeply dependent on Microsoft - otherwise Amazon has taken their cake. Now, of course, they're trying to grab as much control of "the cloud" as they can. They have a big clout when convincing decision makers - that has been their business model for quite a while now. They use underhanded tactics to "convince" (I'd call it "buy") city mayors. They're using their market power to infiltrate every school and public administration and doing everything to keep them dependent. They're lobbying the EU commission at a tune of 5 million euro a year. If that's your take too, there are many reasons to dislike Microsoft. That's why I still prefer spelling it "free software" and why I tend to prefer copyleft licenses. That depends on what your take on "open source" is.įor me, it's about control: giving the end users as much control of their digital lives as possible.
