Red Hat is Reselling Microsoft Azure (Proprietary, Surveillance, Complete With Back Doors)
Surrendering to the bully, selling Clown Computing at the expense of Free software (exploiting the free/altruistic labour of developers to enrich Microsoft and oneself while volunteer developers die)
Ariel Adam, Pradipta Banerjee, and Jens Freimann (Red Hat) are selling Azure for Microsoft. This is the very opposite of security. Red Hat also shilled 'secure' boot (opposite of security) and still does, in other words promoting Microsoft's control over your computing:
This is quite revealing (authors' profiles):
So even when Microsoft vandalises dual-boot setups Red Hat still fails (and has long failed) to recognise the competition, which resorts to breaking laws and sabotaging GNU/Linux. Why didn't Red Hat issue a statement about what happened 2 weeks ago and what lessons were learned? How long before the next "wontboot" [1, 2], i.e. the very opposite of security? Red Hat basically sold out like Novell had done in 2006*, but the terms of the collusion were not the same.
Where are the antitrust authorities? Have regulators given up on the notion of fair competition? █

* As I put it some days ago in a message to the editor of LXer: "Dear Scott,
"The explanation is both simple and sad. It's simple because anyone can understand the logic of it, but at the same time it's immensely unjust. Very, very unjust.
"By "partnering up" with Linux vendors for "cloud" (like Novell in 2006 for "interop"), Microsoft made them more dependent on the Microsoft palm (of cash flow)."
