Microsoft joins the Linux Foundation
View PC info
To me the scary isn't that Microsoft joined the Linux Foundation but how many positive comments there are on the thread http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/11/microsoft-joined-linux-foundation-no-really about the direction Microsoft has taken recently. Yes they are releasing more software bits by opening code, developing Windows code for Linux and Linux code for Windows. At the same time they are performing a privacy and control travesty against it's users. This is something that should be sacred to the Linux community. This problem may be mostly with Canonical who integrated online search and ads into the desktop with Amazon in Ubuntu, so they seem to have at least partially embraced the same disregard for their users.
Not saying them being part of the Linux Foundation doesn't rub me the wrong a little, it does.

I honestly think that they're trying to switch their profit ways from desktop to cloud and storage, things like azure and so... Something that giants like Facebook, Google did a long time ago. If that is the case, I wouldn't even be surprised if they did decide to support linux with their software as well...
Or maybe they just did it to cover their data mining reputation and to show themselves as very non malignant and caring company... who knows what the motive is but it sure isn't the love towards linux on desktop.

And suddenly I have a great idea, I will found a "World Peace" NGO together with EXXON, Shell and the USA :D
(No hate against Citizen of the USA, I have friends in the USA, too)
Sorry for this comment, I can not believe that this is true (to accept a company like MS which is all about money, profit, takeovers, government bribes, spying etc.). BTW how did Bill Gates created MS-Dos? He bought QDos and did some changes ...! What are the conditions to join the Linux Foundation?

I think the title is a little over the top, but I also think it is legitimate to be concerned.

The conditions are probably almost soley on how many contributions you make to the kernel and how important parts of the industry view those contributions. On the RHEL side of things I think the Hyper-V code is considered extremely important.
