Summary: Response to revisionists who blame the demise of Nokia on anything but Microsoft's cult tactics and infiltration
The comment [1] sent to us for assessment deals with topics we've covered here for many years [2][3], so equipped with credible reports -- including from high-level insiders -- we're responding to overt revisionism regarding Microsoft, Elop, and Nokia.
Towards the end we also mention how many choose to forget what Microsoft has done to the likes of Nokia, Novell and many others (even Yahoo! this past decade) and instead treat Microsoft like it's not a danger anymore. Two people recently pointed out to me a new FSF article (year's end message) that hardly mentions Microsoft at all. "That's the article with 12 mentions of Apple and one sheepish mention of Microsoft," told us one person in IRC this morning. "Still the same," he said. "FSF is basically Microsoft PR. They will bash everyone but Microsoft. Same situation with EFF. And Linux Foundation" (sponsored by Microsoft for nearly half a decade now). ⬆
It seems likely the end of Vista 10 coinciding with a sharp rise in memory prices (and now energy prices) will benefit GNU/Linux and therefore give us more to write about
MinceR says the "lkml [message/page] one is April Fools or at least they're trying to pass it off as April Fools [however] the [GitHub] one was archived on the 8th and yesterday, so that probably isn't..."
Like Scam Altman, Larry Ellison hangs around Cheeto King because he could use some bailouts in the form of government contracts or phony money with an incredible name like "Stargate"
When forums say that they banned Microsoft Lunduke or don't want him mentioned it's probably because they are familiar with the "stench" that follows him around
