Microsoft, I Forgive You
I&#x27;m not sure I feel the same way, and I will probably be downvoted for it.<p>Microsoft&#x27;s entire existence is largely based on incredibly aggressive, (perhaps) unethical behavior against its perceived rivals.  FUD, threats of litigation and patent extortion, etc.  Trying to destroy the entire open source movement.  Why do they need forgiveness?  They are a profit-seeking entity that has tried to crush many things I hold dear.  Think about where we&#x27;d be today if Microsoft actually succeeded in what it set out to do long ago.  It&#x27;s only because they failed that we are having this discussion.
