I find this deceptive and very concerning. For a number of important reasons, hosting GNU development on a proprietary Microsoft platform should be verboten.

I wish the author would have stated the reasons more fully, rather than some vague insinuations.

Yeah—that’s the weak point of his article. I thought about not posting it because of that, actually.

If all the GNU (Free, open) posts first go through Micr$oft) then the harvesting and patenting by M$oft gives them expert first in line overviews of good ideas for them to monetize and restrict to their products would be my guess.

With a tweak here and there, voila a new patent that M$oft has the resources to beat down any independent programmer and his original programming.

That's my take.
