@sjvn @ZDNet Lets not forget #Microsoft also had its own #UNIX distribution called #XENIX which was used with their internal version control system #SLM as the repository for their proprietary platforms source code such as #Office and #Windows. They also had one of the largest SUN Solaris installations for handling internal mail before Exchange also for running #Hotmail.
fyi
@kimcrawley
I respectfully disagree, and understand that perhaps in the case of MS, 2 opposing things can be correct at the same time.
1) Microsoft is #linux company.
2) Microsoft is also an AI company, which for me, cancels out 1)
I was thrilled, THRILLED to close down my account with Microsoft today :)
They freaking bought carbon credits from Rupert Murdoch to offset their various BS, and I'm extremely happy to be not using any of their services.
#NoAI #Microsoft
