The Evolution of Microsoft's War on GNU/Linux
13 sins
Stage I: It's nothing, nobody uses it
Stage II: It's really bad anyway
Stage III: It's called Linux, it's a cancer and communism
Stage IV: It's a copyright infringement, SCO sued companies for using it
Stage V: It's a patent infringement, we'll sue you for using it
Stage VI: It's not secure, look at all the sites we sponsor obsessing over holes in software that sometimes runs on top of "Linux"
Stage VII: We love it, hence we don't compete with it; just stay with Windows please
Stage VIII: We bribe NGOs and fake nonprofits to tell you there's nothing wrong with Microsoft, Windows, and GitHub (proprietary)
Stage IX: GNU is Windows ("WSL")
Stage X: GNU/Linux is Windows ("WSL2")
Stage XI: GitHub (proprietary) means "open source" (openwashing)
Stage XII: Windows is "Linux"
Stage XIII: Windows is "Linux" and "open source"
