To me I feel a lot of people still think Microsoft is the company it was 10-15 years ago.

I keep reading Microsoft isn't truely open source that they are a "for profit company." If that is what makes you open source vs. not open source then there are a ton of companies, products, and libraries out there that we all use than wouldn't match your definition of open source.

.net Core has been a huge thing for Microsoft. There is a reason why there are companies out there making the switch and moving some of their tech stack to it.

I really don't think we will see a huge thing. As long as they don't force us to use Microsoft accounts we are good.
