Monopoly abuse by any other name is still just that.

Microsoft never did change, nor will it, no mater how many they manage to fool, manipulate or bribe. It remains a criminal enterprise that should be cut down. But that will never happen, as long as the government(s) controlling this company are made of the same DNA.

Good luck to those who have the luxury of a choice to avoid this company (and similar ones). Even more if they still choose not to. Most of all, good luck for those who don't even have a choice, for they most likely will need luck more than anyone else.

Microsoft shouldn't rely on this too much honestly. They still have mass, money and maybe an edge but the rest of the world changed, and is potentially ready to pick up the pieces if need be.

I thought recent efforts of MS were a sign of wisdom somehow.

...and maybe an Edge?

No, they sold out to Google on that already.

Oracle basically rebuilds RHEL. It's not a tiny feat, but it was done by small teams for CentOS, Scientific Linux and other RHEL rebuilds. Real distribution work is done by RHEL/IBM.
