Hmm, what's the point? If I go Linux, it'll be to get away from Microsoft.

I like Ubuntu but I got to it by fleeing from MS. This cozying up between Canonical and MS will send me searching again. This is the first step in the MS business model - Cooperate, Co-opt, Control.

[[This cozying up between Canonical and MS will send me searching again.]]

Yes, that’s what I’ve been reading online- I don’t even know what ‘canonical’ is, but I assume it’s something to do with the coding? Or perhaps the commercializing of Ubuntu or something?

[[Cooperate, Co-opt, Control.]]

Sadly that seems to be the way it’s going- ubuntu might change their m ind when enough people move over to antoehr distribution- but perhaps not- let’s hope they do change their m ind and get back to their roots- as it is the most popular distribution and one of the easiest to use for newbies like myself- but i won’t be using their distro if they co-opt with MS
