What "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL" Documents From Microsoft Teach Us About Its Plan for GitHub and Various Similar Incursions

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Oct 27, 2023

THE latest articles mentioned Microsoft's internal (and "HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL") strategy, including the attacks on GNU/Linux, which Microsoft deems an "infestation". In light of Microsoft "buying shares" in GNU/Linux conferences (and organisers foolishly allowing this to happen), let's re-examine what Microsoft said and how it relates to the present.

Here is why Microsoft is still herding GNU/Linux users (back) to Windows.

Microsoft critical mass

Microsoft openly admits not caring about but just using developers:

Microsoft vs developers

Help Microsoft, not developers

All Microsoft

They want to hide the truth, then let others find out the truth (whereupon they start attacking those other people, even attacking their family members and doxing them).

Non-lying Microsoft

To Microsoft, this is "war" (the word they keep using).

That's just from the first 30 pages (or thereabouts), but there are over 130 pages in total. It's full of contempt and admission that Microsoft seeks to destroy, not to create. Never ever trust Microsoft. Ever.
