Micro$oft's product management is on-point.

Ubuntu and Redhat have boosted the pragmatism of Free/Libre and Open Source software, but the overall Linux community just hasn't attracted enough people willing to take the time to understand markets.

Now, on to the stone throwing: Micro$oft and companies like it have decades of a well deserved reputation for everything from careless annoyance to gross malice, usually to the detriment of any kind of competitive marketplace and users. I wish they cared about money, like they did a long time ago, when starting out, but now it's all about control. Not control over technology, but control of you, your data, your access, and your behavior. It's better for all of us, Window$ users or not, that there's a core group of masochists willing to stand up to all that BS.
