- Thou shalt not host a FOSS project outside GitHub (otherwise it won't 'count')
- Thou shalt not edit code without Visual Studio (which now has an "open" -- albeit spying and malicious -- component for openwashing purposes)
- Thou shalt not code without .NET (or Mono)
- Thou shalt not use a voting machine without Windows (we have just announced some openwashing component to make up for the NSA back doors that compromise elections worldwide)
- Thou shalt not boot GNU/Linux as a standalone operating system (UEFI might not permit this anyway, unless we sign for approval)
- Thou shalt not get get a GNU/Linux distribution outside our Store
- Thou shalt not buy a computer without Windows preinstalled; those are "naked PCs" and everyone who buys such PCs is a "pirate"
- Thou shalt not disparage or even publicly criticise our staff (that would be in violation of GitHub rules, a Code of Conduct, T&C and so on)
- Thou shalt not report back doors in our software or leak NSA tools that take advantage of these (there's a prison sentence for doing so)
- Thou shalt not write in mass media things that refute our narrative (proving that we are chronic liars); we would bribe the publication using advertising money and have you sacked
- Thou shalt not use open formats such as OpenDocument except inside Microsoft Office, which is incompatible with all other software (by design)
- Thou shalt not distribute Linux without paying Microsoft for patents; we're still suing companies (in 2019) for having the audacity to do so
- Thou shalt not host a site or a service outside Azure; we'd sic patent trolls at you
- Thou shalt not oppose Microsoft's lock-in and proprietary software shims inside Linux; we'd send our media partners (Condé Nast) to oust you, at least for a month if not permanently
- Thou shalt not report our crimes to the authorities; doing so would make you a "toxic", "intolerant" person
- Thou shalt not use the GPL unless all other options have been exhausted
- Thou shalt not adopt a Web browser other than MSIE or our rebranded Chrome, also known as Edge; we'd occasionally tinker with your computer's settings to remind you to quit using other browsers or refuse the download of such "malware"
