●● They Always Say They Love Linux (and ‘the Children’)

Posted in Deception, GNU/Linux, Microsoft at 6:37 am by Dr. Roy Schestowitz

Summary: Microsoft says it “loves Linux” and the Gates Foundation insists it “loves children” but the real underlying motivations have more to do with monopoly (Windows, Monsanto etc.) and nothing to do with “Linux” or “children” or whatever

WHEN “LINUX” dominates everything — from coin-sized devices to supercomputers — it’s a bad business strategy to openly badmouth “Linux”; so all the foes of GNU/Linux join the Linux Foundation (join means “pass money to”) and try to control this thing, diverting “mind share” to proprietary “solutions” of one’s own. In the name of “Linux” of course…

“Don’t fall for self-serving marketing slogans.”Similarly, the European Patent Office (EPO) claims to care about SMEs, about scientists, about “innovation”; but looking at the sorts of people that António Campinos mingles with — as did Battistelli — it’s clearly a lie. They’re there to help the litigation ‘business’. They work for predators, not for inventors.

Things aren’t always as they seem. Azure is all about control, WSL is all about Windows, GitHub is an attack on software freedom and so on. Don’t fall for self-serving marketing slogans. █

“Linux infestations are being uncovered in many of our large accounts as part of the escalation engagements.”
