Mark Shuttleworth's (MS's) Canonical is Promoting Microsoft This Week (Surveillance Slanted as 'Confidential')

posted by Roy Schestowitz on Apr 30, 2024

Canonical's Jehudi

Every. Single. Article. Is. Microsoft. Promotion.

Who runs Canonical these days? Why does Canonical help sell Windows?

At Red Hat's RedHat.com some of the authors are full-time Microsoft staff. It means "the cancer 'metastasises'" fast... it's probably a Code of Conduct violation to merely point out this isn't OK.
