My thoughts too...

If you like steve50 support the Chinese in this line of reasoning, then you wouldn't want any Linux in the US government, right?

I don't agree with your appeal to nationalism that Microsoft represents America abroad. That I should favor Microsoft because they represent American capitalist efforts while Linux is Euro-socialist-collectivist crap. That even worse, now there's a ChiCom version of it.

I don't go along with your narrative because:
1) I detest the way M$ has done business through the years. A bad example of capitalism.
2) M$ has hired tons of H1-B workers so is not particularly loyal to American workers nor patriotic. When I think of corporations that are patriotic M$ never comes to mind.
3) Linux is developed by people from all over the world through I'll admit it is a collective/collectivist effort
