Shrewd E.E.E. tactics (pro-Microsoft gerrymandering) at work? Targeting the core and the host?
In blue: Microsoft-imprisoned (GitHub); in red: proprietary. Never trust chronic liars whose sole goal is to confuse and bait/provoke the media.
Summary: Intel keeps outsourcing almost everything (that's not proprietary with back doors, e.g. ME) to Microsoft's proprietary software prison, known as GitHub; to make matters worse, Intel now uses the Microsoft-hosted Rust to develop in Microsoft servers, along with Microsoft, code that promotes Microsoft proprietary software (e.g. Hyper-V) and non-standard 'extensions'.
