These Are Bridges From GNU/Linux to Microsoft, Not the Other Way Around

A covered bridge



Summary: When Microsoft claims to extend an olive branch or gesture of "love" it actually attacks the subject of supposed love

THE "MICROSOFT LOVES LINUX" lie is hilarious if not outrageous. Some raise their brows, others find it infuriating. People who actually say that are liars (or incredibly gullible if not bribed).

Yesterday SUSE published part 4 of its series that perpetuates this lie; SUSE is still a lot like Novell, helping Microsoft in the name of "interoperability"; 2 years ago when the Linux Foundation put Linus Torvalds 'on the ice' we all saw that second in line (of succession) was Mr. Novell "interoperability" Gregory K-H (the Linux Foundation refers to him as "Gregory"), the person who helped Microsoft develop bridges leading from Linux to Microsoft's proprietary software.

"...Microsoft is only ever interested in getting people to defect from Linux to Windows."Whether it's DrawBridge or WSL, Microsoft is only ever interested in getting people to defect from Linux to Windows. That's how much Microsoft "loves Linux" (with DirectX, provided you run Windows, with a misleading name like "WSL2" -- a dud very few people ever bothered with).

As we said this morning in a meme, to Microsoft "Love Means Destroy". It's all about Microsoft. Microsoft loves nobody but itself and its cult leader. This has been the case for so many years and people who still deny it deserve ridicule if not condemnation.
