Yes everyone knows where it came from, but the FOSS communities continued screeching and pot banging with that phrase and Microsoft is both tired, played out, and near pointless considering what Google is actively doing to the software world right now.

Dismissing legitimate concerns as screeching is pretty lame. Try making your your arguments without emotional manipulation.

Microsoft was a bad actor and leopards rarely change their spots.
