Yes, Microsft is no friend of Linux, their "surrender" to Linux is just due to the facts, and due to their hope to get a certain share in Linux-based software, one day big enough so that they could start to erode Linux from within by setting conditions once too many people again base on these Microsoftic code-injections once again. Like gamers and especially simmers still depend on Windows for game-launching.

Also, there is this story still running that UEFI - which replaces/d BIOS - originally was a project by Microsoft to make installation of Linux on new motherboards impossible or at least so difficult so that peopel would chose Windows instead. In principle what they do now with banning hardware driver support for new hardware running on older Windows versions, so that people should need to run W10.

Its a poisonous viper the Linux Foundations takes to its breast when accepting cooperation with Microsoft. They should not let it in, I think, not allowing it to now grew its foothold it already has squeezed into the door. There is already quite some Microsoft cooperation and code in Linuxverse, and I think that is enough. You can say "Lets see whether this viper really bites" - but why even accpeting the risk of finding out? Its not as if Microsoft has a friendly, clean reputation.
