100% disagree there. microsoft has a bunch of amazing software -- vscode, visual studio, azure cloud is actually quite good, sqlserver actually runs on linux (and it's a good db!).

microsoft under satya is a great company and doesn't even compare to the ballmer days.

>microsoft under satya is a great company and doesn't even compare to the ballmer days.

I think everyone here would agree with that assessment. But ultimately Microsoft is not a neutral party, and this news will cause a massive fracture in the open source community. This is the death of what GitHub was.

    Ah, for the days when HN was a refuge from this type of bullshit.
