a Microsoft employee

You're talking about good ol' Lenny like he isn't the author of the most used init and utility system as well as PulseAudio.

I know who that is and he's also a Microsoft employee these days which makes this a funny sequence of statements:

"EU bad because they made us open up Windows to 3rd party anti-virus vendors. Oh, btw, the fully open Linux operating system can cope with such a problem if properly configured. Here's the documentation to make that configuration."

Not only that, he specifically attacked "commercial operating systems" - it's anyone's guess which he meant - for not implementing it.
