Wow! Microsoft Promotes DirectX (Proprietary)

DirectX

See the headlines below. These responses seem to be missing the point; just as they did when Microsoft 'embraced' WINE and Mesa (developers did complain about this).

Wow! Microsoft DirectX Adopting SPIR-V Moving Forward

Microsoft embraces more open standards with DirectX 12 adopting SPIR-V

So they get their foot inside another door.

Both articles (above) blindly parrot Microsoft's one-sided narrative and give no source other than Microsoft.com. That's hardly journalism. Sorry to say...

I covered this in a video 4 years ago. The facts have not changed since; the tactics are all the same.
