From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

He's retired, what vested interest do you think he has. You think he gets money for talking about the working conditions at MS, I bet MS would really rather him not talk about what it's like at the company even if he is careful not to spill secrets. They don't discuss that stuff themselves for reasons ya know.
This is like a whole new level of Linux cope here, trying to argue that a guy who is retired has is pushing an agenda to help Microsoft despite not working there anymore and being retired all because he says things about the shitty open source development structure you don't like.
You haven't given any evidence to support your claim. All you did was link to some Youtuber who repeats Microsoft propaganda. (Old propaganda at that)
@linuxisevil Microsoft tends to provide stock options to their employees, this gives them more incentive to work 80 hours / week and contribute to the companies financial growth, and if they've retained those stocks, then they retain an interest.
That doesn't even matter. If he worked at Microsoft he probably has a Microsoft attitude. Also I've noticed that the older programmers share his sentiment.
You have no idea what you are talking about and nether does the Youtuber dude you linked to. This is the same guy who says Cloud strike was causes by a EU ruling. The ruling didn't require Microsoft to give everyone full access. It just required that they don't abuse there control of the OS to give themselves a unfair advantage. Another words, they need to give Zoom the same access as Teams to the OS.
Conviently ignores the XZ incident knowing full well it proves the point. Keep on coping.
I just now noticed your username
@linuxisevil I don't really give a flying fuck if you buy it or not. If you want to use Windows be my guest, load up your spyware and controlware and have a good time.
