Ouch. My sympathies.

Until recently I worked for a Linux vendor. Many of my colleagues were quite keen on the New MS. "But Liam," they'd tell me, "MS has changed. They say so! Look: 'MS <3 FOSS.' It's right there! They're our valued partners!"

I pointed out now-forgotten misdeeds.

They said it was OK: they had a _contract_. It had _guarantees_ in it.

I do not own any shares in that company.



My usual answer is "The DoJ couldn't sue Microsoft. Good luck"

I must remember that.
