Apologies for steering a little off topic. A detailed analysis worth reading, especially to those who have not read it yet, seems almost prophetic these days. It related to topics that we cover.
This situation is not about stock valuation, product quality or whether or not Microsoft has monopoly power in its markets. Nor is it part of a pro or anti-Microsoft movement.

In our experience, GNOME is so malicious - some elements of it in particular - that it would launch multiple simultaneous SLAPP campaigns not only against journalists but also their spouses
