Windows+Linux article

I would love to hear everyone's opinions on this article I found?

I am a little weirded out by this. Kinda frightened maybe.

I think it is a good thing. Most of the open source stuff they have done are more for the enterprise environment and not based towards consumers so Microsoft are less apt to do scary shit with these products.

This could be a trend towards greater altruism, soon the NSA CIA and FSB may also join to help with privacy and security.

There is an existing thread about this already, it's old news. At this point, since the previous discussion was a couple of weeks old, I'm not going to merge it because it doesn't really add a new element to the existing discussion, but feel free to join the previous discussion.

and another aspect of that in more recent news:

I'm closing this discussion though.
