Don’t Believe the Lies; Microsoft Hates Linux and Merely Pulls E.E.E.
Tactics Against It, Including .NET Promotion

Posted in Deception, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 6:58 pm by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Making GNU/Linux work the ‘Microsoft way’ so as to give Microsoft greater
control

‘We had some painful experiences with C and C++, and when Microsoft came
out with .NET, we said, “Yes! That is what we want.”‘

–Miguel de Icaza, now Microsoft employee

Summary: A warning about lots of prepared (in advance) Microsoft brainwash,
or intentionally misleading material that strives to portray Microsoft as a
friend of GNU/Linux even though the company actively attacks GNU/Linux and
tries to bring the competitor under its own control"
