1) #Microsoft wants to pretend FOSS was never the competition (this causes confusion which serves M$’s bottom line)
2) M$ will lie to officials who sign contracts about being an “open source company” (all of M$’s core software remains proprietary with malicious features like surveillance and DRM)
3) Buying out, controlling the competition
4) Patent blackmail, bribery and other attacks on #FOSS carry on while M$ pretends that all is well (#wecomeinpeace)
