Microsoft Hates Linux - Part IV - Deleting, Attacking Android/Linux From Within

Devouring Linux by getting into bed with it

Guest room



Summary: Microsoft 'loves' Linux so much that it is trying to get on top of Linux and then delete Linux

MICROSOFT is trying hard to derail Android, which is the biggest disseminator of Linux. Now we have additional clues about Microsoft's motivation in getting control over Cyanogen or getting into Android's bed. It's akin to someone trying to stab someone in his/her sleep, or shoot him/her in the back whilst pretending to be a friend/lover.



According to some sources, competing in terms of quality or price (or hijacking another company like Nokia) is not enough for Microsoft. Embrace, extend, and extinguish is the plan. See the articles "Microsoft Is Developing Software That Converts Android Phones To Windows 10", "Microsoft is building a Windows 10 ROM that wipes Android off phones" and "Microsoft’s new scheme could become Google’s worst Android nightmare". These are self-explanatory, so no further comment from us is needed.

It is stuff like this which one ought to alert Canonical/Ubuntu about, since they are willing to go into Azure (trap/Trojan horse), as we shall explain some time next week. Wait until some fools like Canonical's managers find Microsoft offering conversion tools on Azure (from Ubuntu to Windows' latest version), reminding us how Microsoft treats so-called 'partners'. Ubuntu just refuses to learn from experience or observation of Kyocera's fate. Microsoft has no friends, only partners to be used and then eliminated (when there's no use left in them).

Over at CBS, the Microsoft booster wrote that "Microsoft cooks up way to run Windows 10 on Android devices". Now, Microsoft, tell us again how you "love" Linux. Enough love to delete Linux?
