SJVN shilling Microsoft
Microsoft, according to SJVN, "hasn't been evil for about eight years now" in this piece that's hours-old. Article full of lies, distortion, and revisionism (retirement is well overdue, get off the Linux Foundation money).

Summary: An unbelievably misleading article, full of errors, has been published by Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols; he also helped shield Bill Gates (Jeffrey Epstein enabler) by defaming Richard Stallman in a site funded by Microsoft, IBM, and their front group 'Linux' Foundation
